“He had said that the geometry of the dream-place he saw was abnormal, non-Euclidean, and loathsomely redolent of spheres and dimensions apart from ours.” — From a lost explorer’s journal, The Call of Cthulhu
The first and last thing you hear every day is The Hum. A constant signal pulling you deeper into the world. The terrain is abnormal. Distances fold in on themselves. Structures rise where there should be nothing. Corridors stretch beyond sight.
Travel is not a choice. It is the only way to remain, through radiation, corrosion, and machine growth. Brutalist-rot into organic form.
Fragments of who we were lie scattered through the ruins, trapped in quartz and buried in broken sites. You must find them. Meaning is what can still be carried forward before the corruption takes hold.
Follow the Hum. Search the ruins. Find what remains.
Play as a solitary explorer in a complete, self-contained game of dice-driven hexcrawling, resource management, combat, and exploration through impossible architecture, radiation-scarred zones, and organic, machine-infested ruins, searching for relics from long-forgotten civilizations.
Inspired by Blame!, Death Stranding, Berserk, Stalker, Annihilation, and Mothership RPG.
