Eureka! Dempsey has just invented a machine that allows him to explore his own mind! It works by projecting the subject’s consciousness onto a 3D avatar of themself, which can be guided through their brainscape using a controller. However, there’s a few caveats: the subject must be asleep for the procedure to work. The avatar is unable to move on their own volition, paralyzed from the shoulders down—someone else must hold the controller and pilot them like a video game character. Worst of all, Dempsey could not program an emergency shutoff switch that is guaranteed not to cause brain damage. The user must wait half an hour for the system to disconnect from their neurons while powering down.
In a show of great trust, Dempsey asks his husband Rhodes to navigate him through the depths of his brain. Unfortunately, Rhodes is bad at video games. After a wrong turn, he accidentally lands Dempsey in a nightmarish game show where he is forced to relive his most embarrassing moments in front of a jeering audience…and they can’t just turn it off.
