14 itemsAbout the Game
▓ There’s an old story, so old it was old when the Arc was first built. The hero Theseus’s decaying ship is replaced, piece by piece, until none of the original parts remain. Is it still the same ship?
▓ GRAFT splices together tense survival horror and dark RPG narrative in a thrilling new adventure from the developers of BATTLETECH and the Shadowrun Trilogy.
▓ You wake up on the Arc: an ancient, dying megastructure haunted by strange characters and nightmarish monsters. Find weapons, scavenge and craft supplies, and make every bullet count as you explore its endless halls and chasms. But bullets alone won't save you…
▓ To survive, you'll need to graft: tearing pieces from your enemies to gain new abilities and transform yourself into something new.
▓ Each graft brings with it half-glimpsed memories and strange impulses, changing more than just your physical body. How you choose to react to these new urges will shape your identity and your relationships with the other survivors you meet.
▓ YOU ARE THE SHIP OF THESEUS. Who, or what, will you be when you escape?
▓ CONFRONT terrifying foes in a unique take on CLASSIC SURVIVAL HORROR.
Scavenge and craft, make every bullet count, and target enemy body parts with a dynamic, VATs-inspired targeting system.
▓ TRANSFORM and grow stronger by GRAFTING parts of your enemies into your own flesh.
Your changing body is your most powerful weapon. Choose which grafts you take to gain the abilities, upgrades, and knowledge you’ll need to survive. But there’s a cost…
▓ REWRITE your identity… before something else does.
Each graft floods your system with strange cravings, half-glimpsed memories, and cruel impulses. How will you react when these urges break through? Who will you become, and how will it affect those you care about most?
▓ EXPLORE a deadly, decaying, and darkly-captivating MEGASTRUCTURE.
The Arc is ancient: expanding, twisting, breaking, and reforming itself across aeons. Unearth secrets and master forgotten technologies as you journey across its endless sprawl.
▓ CHOOSE how this dark and unconventional RPG story unfolds.
Will you look for a way to save the Arc, or just a way out? Who will you help, and who gets left behind? The choices you make will shape your journey and the fates of those you meet.
