About the game
You descend into the Complex as a prisoner carrying out orders for the Warden. You search dark rooms for supplies, find the items needed for your objective and use terminals to locate equipment. Sleeping creatures react to noise and light. You try to clear them quietly, then prepare for doors that trigger an attack.
Your team has room for four players, with bots filling empty places. You choose weapons and tools before each expedition, share scarce ammunition and agree who watches each approach. One player can track enemies while others reinforce doors or place sentries. Repeated attempts teach you where a plan breaks down. It suits a group that enjoys slow, focused work and is willing to learn from failed missions.
