Lore
The complete mythology, story, and narrative elements of Neuko.
Overview
Neuko's lore centers on a cryptic conspiracy involving psychic experiments, a mysterious character known as G*Boy (or G304), and a fictional corporation called MITER-Corp. The narrative unfolds through cryptic videos, puzzles, and community interpretation, creating a collaborative mythology that blends surveillance themes, government conspiracy tropes, and Web3 culture.

The Experiments
- Subject: Variant G (Series A) - a young boy
