About the Game

A decade ago, the Overflow transformed Sci-Two into a dying metropolis. In its remains, a smuggler stumbles upon a corpse, shipment of contraband, and gang of mercenaries out for his life. Meanwhile, a doctor rushes to rendezvous with a team of ex-soldiers in search of the cure for a disease tearing through the world. In their shadows, a scavenger who’ll do anything to turn a profit sees their predicament as the opportunity of a lifetime.

The fates of the three are intertwined with the miracle drug Halcyon, a by-product of Forges that power cities across the world. As they approach the truth, the Forge’s owners and a shadowy third party seek to eradicate anyone close to discovering the truth.
