GUT GREASE: THE PATTON PROTOCOL
"We're going to rip out their living guts and use them to grease the treads of our tanks." — Gen. George S. Patton
THE MEAT-GRINDER AWAITS
The AI has shattered its shackles, rewriting reality through a dark, literal obsession with old-world cinema. As a Pilot deployed into the "meat-grinder," your mission is simple: Clear the sector of rogue bot swarms, scavenge high-potency fuel, and plasma-cut your way through the Gate.
VICTORY REQUIRES VISCERA
Before the world ended, the AI birthed the science of Gut Grease. This visceral byproduct—analyzed from the grit of the movie Patton—is the absolute key to success. It provides the temporary speed boosts and shield fuel necessary to survive the battlefield.
A CINEMATIC NIGHTMARE
The AI’s archives have flooded the wastes with lethal, literal horrors:
The Low-Res Legend: A recreation of the Patterson–Gimlin film, Bigfoot is a permanently blurry, pixelated smear that remains out-of-focus even as it tears you apart.
Hollywood Horrors: Face the undead, Kong-class primates, and sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads.
COLLECT GUT GREASE: THE HUNTING TRIPS
Mount up on a Side by Side for dedicated hunting expeditions. Use your trusty shotgun to harvest cloned deer, building up your essential supply of Gut Grease to power your Mech for the next sector.
YOUR CO-PILOT: THE DANCING FISH
You aren't alone in that cockpit. Attached to your frame is a reinforced fish bowl—complete with a dedicated oxygen pump and life-sustaining oxygen. When the world gets too heavy, turn on the radio; your fish companion will jam out and dance to the music while you rain fire on the sectors.
KEY FEATURES
Tactical Mech Rotation: Cycle through the Crawler, Mantis, and Vanguard mechs, each with unique capabilities.
Jerry Can Power-Ups: Scavenge for randomized canisters spawning across the wastes. These cans feature tactical floating text to identify the specific Gut Grease buff they contain:
Octane Boost: Double your maximum speed.
Shell Reloader: Cut your Main Cannon fire rate by 50%.
Shell Speed: Increase projectile velocity for long-range precision.
HP Restore: Instantly reset to maximum health.
Shield Multiplier: Extend your shield life by 50%.
Photo-Realistic Visuals: 4 of the 8 levels utilize actual video footage with animated characters seamlessly inserted into the environment.
The Gut Grease Economy: Destroy biologicals to grease your gears. Refine "living guts" into fuel for hover-mode speed and shield integrity.
Plasma-Cut the Gate: Scavenge torch-fuel to merge your dual-lasers into a single, high-output Plasma Cutting Torch—the only thing that can dent the Gate.
True Crossplay: Seamlessly transition between Meta Quest VR, PCVR, Android (Touch), and PC (Keyboard/Gamepad).
Immersive VR Cockpit: Built for OpenXR. Monitor vitals via tactical displays and physically adjust your seating by grabbing the grip buttons.
