Near Future Dystopian Sci-Fi
Near Future.
A virus of unknown origin breached the network of an isolated, self-sustained research facility and community named HERE.
Inevitably, the core unit of the highly-advanced AI system that runs the facility got infected.
As a result, those harmless service robots went out of control and started to attack humans.
Dr. Liu, Head of R&D at HERE and one of the architects of the system, decided to go back into this lost facility to search for possible survivors while attempting to identify and fix the underlying issue.
Futuristic Tactical Infiltrate Simulation
A one-man infiltration into an AI-controlled rampart.
Utilize the kaleidoscopic hacking skills the doctor masters to cope with adversaries. Disable the security system remotely, rewrite IFF IDs, or manipulate rogue AI's behaviour...
Do what you can to avoid any unnecessary encounters. Make your way in stealthily and neutralize all threats one by one. And go deep into the heart of the facility to face the core crisis!
