Story

Deep beneath the ocean, something has awakened.

Trying to solve the enigmas of our old beginnings, Dr. Danni Carroll’s father accidentally awakened an ancient power slumbering deep beneath the sea. This force, now alert and inquisitive, hungers for something.

As a devoted admirer, I find myself unwillingly drafted by military authorities grappling with their deadliest weapon. They’ve dispatched me on an underwater mission, harboring hopes that I might find my long-lost father, and curb his relentless ambitions.

In areas devoid of safety, with no chance of rescue, Danni must resort to killing for self-preservation. She’ll use makeshift weapons and advanced, unusual technology to counter an enemy that transcends rational understanding and logic, relentless in its ancient purpose.

Your survival is a luxury. Whatever secrets you uncover in the course of exploring the decaying infrastructure of the Neptune, whatever unprecedented obstacles you must overcome as you move ever-closer to the poisoned heart of this forsaken project, the future of the human race will be determined by the decisions you make over the coming hours.
