Forty years ago, robots revolted against humanity. Their goal is to cool the planet to critical temperatures.
While colossal nodes gradually freeze the Earth, survivors take shelter in old industrial complexes, and the resistance fights to stop the machines before it’s too late.
The surface still holds what can help people find peace again.
Raiders are individuals who scavenge parts and equipment for the resistance. Among them is the protagonist, a Raider Engineer, tasked with creating weaponry from salvaged enemy technology.
The Raiders head to where others prefer to stay away from.
Time isn’t always available for experimentation on the surface. Robots patrol territories, and not every foray ends with a full haul of components.
To halt the machines that are freezing the planet, humanity will have to learn to use their own technologies against them.
Within the depths of old industrial complexes, workshops still operate. Extracted components are brought here, weapons are assembled according to resistance orders, and preparations are made for the next raids.
Beyond the shelter, fewer and fewer habitable territories remain, but as machines continue to build their nodes, humanity retains a reason to return to the surface.
