About

You’ll manage resources, outmaneuver enemies, and make tough choices as you uncover fragments of your lost past. Each mission blends tactical turn-based combat with exploration, forcing you to balance survival and storytelling. The game stands out for its layered narrative and strategic depth. While combat is challenging, the real tension comes from piecing together your identity amid corporate control and personal struggle. Players note the satisfying mix of genre elements, though some found the difficulty curve steep. A polarizing but memorable experience for those into sci-fi strategy with moral weight.

Storyline

In a scorched world devastated by a decades-long interstellar war, you, Ezra, have been recruited by the all-powerful Recovery Syndicate to salvage items from abandoned spaceships and military bases. With no memories, and cerebral implants threatening your autonomy, you go on missions, battle mutants and defense systems, and bring loot back to the Recovery Syndicate. That is, until you uncover clues about your past. Once the truth is revealed, you can’t go back. It's war against a powerful evil and your inner demons. Fight to regain your humanity or die trying.
