Daytime
Guests begin their journey from the Berlin Squat quarter; they encounter some propaganda graffiti on their way.
As guests go further, they start to see more and more of it and feel how pressure is built up by slogans and images.
Multiple repetitions of the same elements at first could be mistaken for a glitch, but the more repetitions visitors see the scarier it feels.
The loop effect creates a surrealistic feeling. Visitors see children without faces and pigs without snouts. Guests feel lost, frustrated and wtf?-ed.

Anniversary concert in honor of the new regime
The leader dressed in a white coat addresses his people with a celebratory speech on the nation's achievements.
When he is almost done, his speech turns into a Rammstein concert, and SWAT-team soldiers begin to push the guests into a dark and cramped room.

After dark, the inner life of the city emerges.
Propaganda graffiti is changing to neon graffiti, and the whole city

In the last part, visitors understand that they have just had a hallucination in the head of the main character.
Viewers find themselves in a soul asylum, where doctors experiment with technologies that create hallucinations that the viewers have just experienced.
