About the Game

Explore the Underground Remnant of Dying World

Explore a hand-crafted, nonlinear living warren of mines, caverns and alien ruins full of strange creatures, non-human factions, and settlements. Far below the surface of a once lush planet whose surface has decayed into uninhabitability, delve into the underworld now called Midsheol. Experience the last bastion of the ancient symbiotic confederacy of three dominant species long known as the Kinship by human explorers.

Chosen to be part of a milestone Human delegation hoping to re-establish diplomatic relations with the Kinship, your life and very biology is thrown into chaos as your group is ambushed and scattered. You wake up in the den of an alien bio-engineer and must piece together what has happened to you and your group, and try to salvage your hopes of a lasting peace.
