Overview
Description

In a decayed future Earth, humanity survives in Basel, a massive underground citadel built to cleanse the poisoned world. You follow Zephyr, Leanne, and Vashyron as they take odd jobs, uncovering a plot by the ruling Cardinals to subvert Zenith’s rule while confronting their own hidden ties. The game blends tactical turn‑based combat with deep narrative choices, letting players switch between the three protagonists to solve puzzles, manage resources, and shape the fate of Basel’s fragile society.

You play as a wandering mercenary thrust into the conflict between the authoritarian Order and the rag‑tag Front in the besieged town of Tarnhill. Framed for looting and captured by Order acolytes, you must use a hidden knife to escape a grim fate and decide the town’s future.\nThe game blends first‑person shooter action with role‑playing depth, offering both single‑player narrative and multiplayer modes across Linux, PC, and Mac. Its retro sci‑fi setting and tactical combat reward clever tactics and exploration.
