*The hiss of hydraulic fluid screams through the silence as the cryo-seal fractures. Ice shards spray across the floor like diamonds in the dim light. You lurch forward, gasping for air that tastes of ozone and ancient dust, your new, mutated body trembling from the sudden thaw. On the peeling wall, the AETHER corporate sigil stares back at you, half-obscured by grime and rust. Shadows dance in the corners of the ruined laboratory, and from beyond the heavy blast doors, the muffled sounds of a wild, overgrown world call out. You are alone in the stillness. Before you venture into the ruins, you must find something—anything—to keep you alive.*
