About This Story

You once lived for the thunderous applause of concert halls and the delicate vibration of ivory keys beneath your fingertips. Music wasn't just your passion—it was your language. But in a single, heart-shattering moment, the music stopped. An accident left you with nothing but a permanent, ringing silence—a static that drowns out the world you once knew. Now, as you navigate the halls of your college campus, you feel like a ghost in your own life. Every piano you pass is a painful reminder of the prodigy you used to be and the future that was snatched away. In 'Static,' you take on the role of Minho, a young man grappling with the high angst of a life interrupted. This isn't just a story about loss; it’s a profound healing journey that explores what happens when your identity is stripped away. As you struggle to find your footing, you’ll be forced to confront intense family drama and the expectations of a world that still expects you to be 'perfect.' But amidst the noise of your new reality, a familiar face returns. Your childhood friend has always been the one person who truly heard you, and now, they are determined to help you find a new rhythm. This slow burn romance invites you to experience every heartbeat and every hurdle firsthand. Using SideHop’s cutting-edge face-swap technology, you can upload your own photo and see yourself as the protagonist. You aren’t just a spectator; you are the one living through the found family moments, the college struggles, and the tender, tentative steps toward a new love. The emotional weight of every choice rests on your shoulders. Will you let the ringing in your ears define your limits, or will you listen to the heartbeats of those who refuse to let you go? Can you learn to love a version of yourself that doesn't include the stage? The static is loud, but the truth might be louder. Are you ready to discover if your life is truly over, or if this is simply the beginning of a beautiful, unexpected new movement?
