Ingress: The Animation - S01

Scientists uncovered a strange substance known as "Exotic Matter (XM)" that connects directly to the human brain. This material has shaped human thought and progress since ancient times, hidden in the background of history. Now that XM has been exposed, nations and corporations are locked in a hidden war to control it. Some see XM as a chance to push humanity forward, while others believe it poses a grave danger. Two factions have emerged in this conflict. The Enlightened embrace XM as a tool to expand human potential. The Resistance, however, fears it will corrupt the mind and fights to keep technology as humanity's true path forward. The battle over XM will decide the fate of the world. In 2018, the fight enters a new phase, spreading from Tokyo across the globe. Rival forces clash as they race to harness XM's power. This project blends animation, location-based gaming, and reality into a unique experience unlike anything before.
