STORY IN SHORT & GAMEPLAY


ONE OF THE MANY THEORIES CLAIMS THAT ONCE IN A FEW BILLION YEARS AN UNCANNY RADIATION EMERGES. IT'S SOURCE REMAINS UNKNOWN. SOME BELIEVE THIS OCCURRENCE MARKS AN END TO THEIR LABORIOUSLY CREATED CIVILIZATION. AN END TO THEIR DOMINATION. OTHERS TAKE IT FOR AN INVIGORATING IMPULSE OF UNKNOWN POWERS, A POSSIBILITY FOR ANOTHER STEP OF COSMIC EVOLUTION TO TAKE PLACE.
OF COURSE. THAT'S JUST A THEORY...
