Nampa, Idaho - May 4, 2026 - In one way or another, we’re all suffering. If your particular burden wasn’t handed to you by fate or your own unfortunate choices, then it was forced upon you by a cold-hearted ruling class that prioritizes profit margins above compassion, empathy, and even common decency. Sadly, suffering isn’t limited to unmet basic needs; it extends toward a psychological dilemma between appreciating the gift of life and sensing the absurdity of it all.
Through the interactions of four fuzzy caterpillars, Pillars of Society unfolds as an allegorical tale of personal transformation, revealing the true costs behind budding awareness and eventual enlightenment. Carl, Bethany, Fitz, and Sigmund live and work in a colony located in a secluded pond surrounded by wetland trees and dotted with water lilies.
After witnessing Carl’s clumsy yet colorful metamorphosis, you, too, will come to realize the source of your own existential suffering—emanating from either knowing the disheartening truths about the society you live in or believing in the lies of indoctrination. It’s your choice.
