I’ve only ever seen ‘delve’ used by AI.”
“Maybe it’s a contraction of ‘dark elf’?”
“Wait – is it a cry for help?”

Dark Mode
(alternative titles: The Dark Web, Elf, Interrupted, Terms of Servitude, Shadow Banned)In this pitch-black comedy, Anna Kendrick stars as Nythra, a sharp-tongued dark elf who dreamed of ruling the underworld—but instead finds herself trapped in a soulless corporate nightmare. Kidnapped from the shadows and forced to work as a customer service rep for ChatNova, a cutting-edge AI chatbot that isn’t artificial at all, Nythra and her fellow elves toil away answering human queries, hidden behind the illusion of machine learning.
As she schemes to escape her digital prison, Nythra must navigate passive-aggressive managers, clueless tech bros, and the ever-watching eye of the company’s ruthless CEO. Will she break free, or will she be stuck optimizing user engagement for all eternity?
A twisted blend of Silicon Valley and The Good Place, Dark Mode delivers biting satire on tech culture, corporate dystopia, and the hellscape of online customer service.
