War x Peace
A downloadable game
2525 A.D. Congo Autonomous Region. Teenage girls—culturally admonished as emotionally volatile magnets for poltergeist activity—are routinely abducted by anti-government militias and used to pilot giant E-MO mecha, sentient war machines that harness human emotions to power their weapons systems. The United Nations has condemned this practice, and launched a rehabilitation and reintegration mandate in countries like Congo, with a goal of demobilizing affected children and helping them lead normal lives.
Xiong Yijun, governor of Congo, has acknowledged the UN mandate and set up centers for Pervasive Therapy, a technique by which a therapist is embedded into the consciousness of a patient. It is this therapist's job to combat past traumas and adjust thinking patterns, something that puts them in direct conflict with the mental imprint of the E-MO, which often has a strong personality of its own.
