Campaign


In 2151, Titan has become a mega-factory under the Ethereal Research Enterprise (ERE), exploiting humans to produce Ether, a vital resource for energy and technology. Workers live oppressed in a caste-like system under surveillance by the DIWO (Directory of Intelligence and War Operations), the brutal secret service of the ERE. Lena, the founder's daughter, unleashes an alien invasion after a sabotaged experiment, resulting in her getting imprisoned and transformed into a human-alien hybrid. Long after, Lena awakes with a mutated Xenocyte as her left arm, strongly confused and lost to a world in chaos, where she will have to fight and choose between vengeance, redemption and destruction.

What will you do, Lena?
