CHARACTERS | James Simmons Designs

CTRL-Z is a dystopian narrative set in a fractured digital future, where rogue AIs are hunted by a glitch-born vigilante with a cardboard box for a head and dual deletion pistols. As reality destabilizes, one silent enforcer begins rewriting his own protocol.

Currently in pre-production, CTRL-Z is an original IP I’m developing from the ground up — handling all art, concept design, and story. The project explores themes of identity, control, and rebellion in a world policed by corrupted data law.
