RESET #3
Immersing himself in the Reset project, washed-up actor Guy Krause explores the original “open world” game of his own imagination! However, the corporate (possibly government) lab technicians who are running the Reset experiments need Guy to tone down on the fun and get back to dealing with his “life issues.” Being a guinea pig for science has oddly boosted Guy’s confidence—so much, in fact, that he boldly asks a lifelong secret crush out on a date!
