CHAPTER ONE

GROUND ZERO,
THE OUTER RING, THE BLADES
& THE ANOMALY CORE

In the cell you have twelve inches and one fist. On the ring you can walk, and your fists stop working. On the platform they come at you faster than you can hit — so you stop hitting, and start finishing what they started. In the hall under the intake, something reaches for you before you reach for it, and what comes back out of you has a colour on it.

CHAPTER TWO · THE DISTRICT BOUNDARY

THE FORK
IN THE PIPE

The heavy vault doors hiss shut behind you, sealing the blinding violet rift in the dark. Your fingers still tingle with the residual heat of your active power. The gantry splits—two paths forward, two brothers to find.

PATH A
THE CARGO LIFT

Open-air moving platform plummeting through a massive vertical silo.

High-velocity wind and falling cargo boxes
Airborne security drones
Fast-paced drop fight
Find your youngest brother in the neon-drenched underworld

PATH B
THE MAINTENANCE VENTS

Claustrophobic steel pipelines wrapping around the facility.

Scalding steam valves and crushing exhaust pistons
Cloaked ambush scouts
Tight, tactical stealth brawl
Infiltrate the grid to map your older sister's tower

Your rolled ability rides with you · Hitting refresh returns you to this choice
