About the Game

Mercenary Life on a Mobile Base

Live the life of a mercenary from your mobile base. This is a game of nocturnal operations. By day, manage your expandable mobile base, the "Dunshuo": strategize its layout, develop your crew, and pick up contracts. When night falls, dive into the urban shadows. Use the base's mobility to navigate different districts and undertake high-stakes missions. Every choice you make will ripple through the narrative, altering the course of your story.

Command the Cyber Battlespace

Every security camera, every terminal is a potential tool for your arsenal. Your hacker expertise allows you to scout enemies, crack encrypted systems, gain strategic oversight, and seize control of enemy drones. Weave the local network into your web to execute tactical surprises.

Gain Advantages on All Sides or Make Enemies Everywhere

In the power struggle among the three major factions—the Resource Allocation Committee, Ark Corporation, and Wildfire Network—you cannot remain neutral. Accept commissions from multiple sides to boost your reputation, but beware: your choices will steadily steer the story toward vastly different endings.

Highly Free Character Building

The character progression employs a class-changing system reminiscent of the classic Fire Emblemseries, but with greater freedom. Your teammates can freely change classes across all available professions. By planning different upgrade paths, you can cultivate teammates with vastly different attribute inclinations. There is no single correct answer—only the optimal team composition that belongs to you.
