Concept :
The player is a young adult looking for escapism. To reach it, she funds her trips around the world with commercial partnerships. As a result, she must consistently share pictures expressing escapism on social media to be able to keep travelling freely.
However, since there's no true escapism, she finds herself struggling to hide reality by finding framing angles free from fences, modern buildings, boards, fences, garbage, other tourists etc. On top of that, her phone constantly vibrates and hides most of the scenery because of the numerous partnership requests she receives by mail.
If she puts her phone on silent or doesn't satisfy enough requests, she won't get enough money and will have to put an end to her "escape".
