Introduction

Hi, Welcome to Uphor

I’m Alex. I’ll be your guide today, and I’ll offer some personal perspective on what we’re about to see.

First off: This is a fictional city. Or maybe a framework. A place to build something together.

Uphor is made up of stories, visuals, brands, neighborhoods, and little bits of culture that might exist in a more livable world. It’s a response to burnout, to broken systems, to that feeling that everything's already been decided. Here, it hasn’t.

This isn’t a polished lore bible. It’s more like a sketchbook on a shared table. Some parts are detailed, others are still in pencil. It’s not meant to be perfect.

The city is strange, but kind. Not always easy, but fair. People here have tried things—some worked, some didn’t. What matters is that they kept trying.

You’ll find fragments: A public transit card from 2112. A protest poster. A dreamy café. A state-funded program that helps people remember how to feel things again. All of it written by people who live here—or say they do. Some are intimate accounts. Some are fiction. Most fall somewhere in between.

And you’re invited to add to it. Write something. Draw something. Invent a company. Or just wander for a bit and see what sticks.

If any of this feels confusing, that’s okay. Uphor is not a place you “get” in one sitting. But you’re in it now. And you’re welcome here.
