Story

A long time ago, a swarm of meteors fell on Egdal. From that fateful day, nothing would have been the same.

A never-ending darkness swallowed the world, bringing humanity to the brink of extinction. Along with the darkness, everyone's deepest fears came alive. Nobody was safe.

Only the light fragments found inside the fallen meteors rekindled humanity's hope in a better future.

Centuries after this event, for the first time scientists managed to pierce the thick layer of clouds covering the whole planet. In this chaotic age, you will witness the events that would lead to humanity's salvation or its demise while living the daily life of a small cast of protagonists.
