Ergo Proxy::STORY

A huge dome-shaped city-state referred to as an ideal paradise. The lives of the residents in this totally administered society -- where an entourage of robots named AutoReiv assists in supervising the humans and where crime is unheard of -- were supposed to be peaceful. However, around the time the society’s order begins to show a decline, the story starts to take place.

A mysterious virus that is said to latch onto the AutoReiv’s AI program and cause self awareness. The AutoReiv that is affected by this virus called “Cogito (I shall think)” ends up disobeying humans and causing various incidents and trouble.

The most important keyword in terms of this story. One day, a deformed phantom referred to as “Proxy,” which has been in a deep sleep within one of Romdo’s secret facilities, woke up and ran away. The residents do not know of this incident that casts a shadow on their ideal city. Soon, a dreadful murder occurs that threatens the peaceful existence within the dome. Could this be the work of an AutoReiv that has been affected by Cogito or the work of that “Proxy”…?

Could it be god or the devil? Every single character ends up dancing to the melody named “Proxy.”
