Deep below, in a darkened, rusting world. Humanity has been forgotten. Progress without progress. Those who should have preserved life destroyed it, and what remains is a broken reflection of the human form. Rusted pipes. Twisted wires. Menacing liquids bubble through the bodies of those who remain. They’ve forgotten the meaning of things.
Now you’ve awakened, and the life in you draws them near. You must make your way through this industrial nightmare.
This is your Rusted Awakening.
Weapons hit hard. Movement keeps you alive. Every shot matters. Every encounter is brutal.
Distilled from the liquids of the dead, a powerful injection system lets you augment your abilities on the fly... but at what cost?
Face dark horrors born of progress: suicidal, drug-forged monstrosities and the remnants of failed experiments that should never have been.
The world bends and warps with each step. Walls shift, corridors collapse, and reality itself distorts as the nightmare unfolds. Every step forward may be your last.
