Psychological Sci-Fi Reality Distortion

A cinematic psychological sci-fi sequence where an ordinary office day slowly breaks reality. 0–3s: Morning office routine. A young woman scans into a modern corporate building, coffee in hand, elevator rising smoothly. Everything feels normal, sterile, and repetitive under cold fluorescent lighting. 3–6s: Subtle distortions begin — computer screens flicker with unreadable code-like symbols, hallway lights blink in an unnatural rhythm, and coworkers repeat the same movements in looping patterns without noticing. 6–9s: The office environment shifts. Glass walls briefly show an endless void outside instead of the city. Printers output black pages of shifting text. Time feels fragmented as clocks on the wall spin erratically. 9–12s: Full surreal escalation — elevators open into identical floors repeating infinitely, voices become distorted, and the woman realizes she is the only one aware as reality behaves like a broken simulation. 12–15s: Final cinematic shot. She stands alone in a vast empty office grid stretching endlessly in all directions. The lights shut off one by one into darkness, leaving only her monitor glowing with a single message: “END OF SIMULATION.” Style: ultra cinematic realism, dystopian sci-fi horror, glitch distortion VFX, corporate liminal space atmosphere, cold fluorescent lighting, recursive environment design, psychological tension, film-grade color grading, eerie minimal sound design feel.
