Gnaks! (2026)

Surviving in the human world is the ultimate punishment for the underground civilization. Gaul and Guli have been sentenced to it. Without IDs, money, or the slightest understanding of human rules, they are forced to survive on a planet where everything seems hostile, bureaucratic, or outrageously expensive. With the highly questionable help of local teenager Ypis and the remote guidance of the enigmatic scientist Tanila, the Gnaks stumble from one disaster to the next: crushing debt, police chases, accidental cults, viral internet fame, dubious spiritual healing booths, and the constant risk of exposing themselves to the very world that condemned them. As they dodge punishment beams fired by subterranean inquisitors and struggle to keep their forbidden technology hidden, Gaul and Guli begin to realize that the greatest torture may not be living among humans after all—but dealing with humanity's contradictions... and their own increasingly questionable choices.
