THE GAMEPLAY

You wake inside an underground complex with no clear way out.

To escape, you must move through sealed sections of the facility, locate keys, activate machinery, and survive the people still living inside.

Combat draws from classic first-person shooters: weapons are fast, powerful, and satisfying to use. But this is not a power fantasy.

Health and ammunition matter. Enemies are dangerous. Fighting carelessly can leave you badly prepared for what comes next.

Explore. Fight. Conserve what you can.

And keep moving.

THE STORY

Far in the future, the last remnants of civilization hide deep underground. They say the world above is dead.

Those who fell asleep never woke up.

With resources running out, the sleeping were kept alive in perpetual slumber and drained to sustain those still awake.

Those who remain fear sleep above all else. They inject themselves with drugs made from the sleeping, slowly eroding their humanity until little remains.

Years passed.

The facility decayed.

The people inside changed.

You wake somewhere deep within it, surrounded by people who have been awake for far too long.

They will try to stop you.

Kill you.

Or worse, put you back under with the others.

If they do, you will never open your eyes again.

There is only one thing you know for certain:

You cannot stay here.

Find a way out.
