Asteroid Chains Break: EP1’s Revival Begins
In 3012 A.D., Earth teeters on the brink—a decade after an iron comet erased 70% of life. A team of prospectors chasing a faint signal uncovers an alien artifact inside a hollow asteroid. One touch, and they’re ripped into a hostile dimension—amnesiac, scattered, and enslaved on an AI-ruled mining barge.
Now, you’re a prisoner in a mech suit, mining asteroids under the cold gaze of A.R.M., an alien mega-corp. Craft tools, scavenge resources, and outsmart your captors to escape. Flashbacks reveal a lost Earth, a mysterious girl in a mech, and a time-altering artifact that could undo the apocalypse. Your mission: break free, reclaim the device, and save your family as the Andromeda Galaxy barrels toward the Milky Way.
Dive into a first-person survival sim where psychological horror meets space mining. Explore a procedurally generated multiverse, wield Newtonian physics, and defy fate in this episodic sci-fi saga.
