WHAT IS THIS
Cartesia is a city that only lets you exist if it can see you. Classify you. File you. And lost inside it is Alyte — a grief-stricken woman who was never supposed to be this real, forced to ask the one question this world was built to fight: what happens to you when there's no one left to witness you?
The Alyte Universe is the music, the fiction, the lore, and the meta layer where Alyte herself steps off the page to witness you back.
MUSIC
DEHUMANIZE on collector's vinyl — twelve tracks, twelve chapters.
FICTION
Alyte Online — the full novella, her descent in prose.
LORE
Cartesian Nights — the myths, the meaning, the city's deepest secrets.
EARLY BACKERS UNLOCK MORE
Stretch goals reach you retroactively. Day one or the final hour, every unlock you qualify for at your tier is yours. The further this funds, the more Cartesia becomes yours.
Be there when the world goes live.

WHO BUILT THIS
Hi. I'm David, and I'm a storyteller. Four published books, an album, an award-winning music video, festival selections from Seoul to Berlin to Dubai. I spent the last ten months building a world I'd want to disappear into. The Alyte Universe is that world.
Everything I create is dedicated to my brother Joe. 32. XXXII.
