Pluribus reimagines alien invasion for the age of social conformity. There are no motherships, no death rays, no obvious violence. The collective simply... absorbs. And the absorbed seem happy—peaceful, even. That's what makes it terrifying.
How Assimilation Works
The Process Assimilation isn't painful. There's no body horror, no screaming. One moment you're you; the next, you're part of something larger. The transition is described as "coming home."
- Individual desires dissolve
- Anxiety and loneliness disappear
- Memories remain but lose emotional weight
- The collective's goals become your goals
- Personality echoes
- Skills and knowledge
- Physical appearance
- The ability to speak and function individually
