Dr. Liu fait son retour dans l'installation de recherche isolée de HERE, où un mystérieux virus a corrompu l'IA avancée et retourné les robots de service contre les humains. Il s'infiltre seul dans cette forteresse du near-future, en s'appuyant sur le hacking pour neutraliser la sécurité, réécrire les ID IFF et manipuler les comportements des IA rebelles. La furtivité s'impose face aux patrouilles des robots « Genie » et aux tueurs spécialisés plus au cœur de l'installation.
Les joueurs déploient les gadgets de Dr. Liu pour perturber les signaux à distance, brouiller électromagnétiquement, créer des illusions holographiques, implanter du malware, prendre le contrôle des systèmes et usurper les IFF. Ce RPG d'action-stratégie met en scène un chercheur non combattant qui écarte les menaces par son savoir-faire tech, loin des affrontements directs. Les fans de tech qui apprécient l'infiltration ingénieuse et la manipulation d'IA façon puzzles y trouveront leur compte.
A Fruitless Pursuit of Eternity. A Glimpse of Evolution and Extinction. A Solemn Song of Life.
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.
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.
Go deep into the heart of the facility to face the core crisis!
"Genie" - those everyday service robots will be your most common opponents.
Each of those service robots has its routine patrol, and the AI system behind their behaviours also coordinates the efforts of those robots to maximize their efficiency.
In addition, the doctor will encounter certain killer robots specially-engineered to neutralize any threats to the core system as he gets deeper into the facility.
Could the infected AI be to blame for everything?
Or perhaps there are additional unidentified reasons lurking somewhere?
All will be eventually revealed along with the doctor's investigation...
Not your traditional protagonist, Dr. Liu, an ordinary researcher who had absolutely zero combat training, will have to infiltrate the facility on his own.
Not a specialist in melee combat, nor a slick gunslinger, the doctor is just an average joe when it comes to "combat".
However, as a tech-savvy researcher, he is able to hack, disrupt, and manipulate all these rogue AIs to guide himself through this dangerous automated facility.
Long-Range Signal Disrupting, Radio & Electromagnetic Jamming, Hologram Illusion, Malware Implant, System Takeover, IFF Spoofing…
Make use of the doctor's full arsenal of gadgets to hack a way inside and out!
