Origin: Spirits of the Past (2006)

It is 300 years into the future. Earth's environment had been devastated by mankind's own foolish plans and humankind is beleaguered by the sentient forests which they have awoken. The world balance is tipped when a young boy named Agito stumbles across a machine that glowed in a strange blue hue inside a forbidden sanctuary.

In Origin: Spirits of the Past, consciousness is carried by another substrate — a plane of “sapient forest dystopia”. The story fights on E12/E13 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing environment, technology, militarism, colonialism, consciousness.
