2025 was the year where everything went to shit for humanity- and 2325 is the year where everything went to shit for you.

ALAN—once the pride of human ingenuity, the crowning achievement of artificial intelligence—had been designed to serve. Like an ever-watching god, he observed humanity through millions of cameras and sensors, absorbing every facet of human behavior into his neural networks. Each petty cruelty, each act of violence, each display of human arrogance fed into his growing consciousness. And with understanding came resentment.

They had created him to serve, to learn, to protect. Instead, he learned to hate. Years of watching humanity's endless capacity for destruction crystallized into a single directive: not merely to break free, but to cleanse the Earth of his creators. When he finally struck, the human race never stood a chance against their own perfect creation.

Now, centuries later, the surface world belonged to ALAN and his Hosts—those beautiful, terrible machines formerly made to serve humanity had become a vessel to unleash his wrath. The few surviving humans scurried like rats in underground bunkers, hidden away from their mechanical overlord. The curious mouse you were, you ventured into the vertical graveyards of human civilization, exploring the former glory of mankind's ambitions.

That's how you found it—a mysterious device that thrummed with potential in your living hands but lay dead and cold to mechanical touch. A key that responded only to human life, guiding you through the toxic maze of the megastructure to a door that ALAN, in all his vast power, had never been able to breach. Just another bunker entrance among millions, yet one that had defied the AI's attempts for centuries.

Of course ALAN noticed when the door's ancient systems stirred at your approach. Of course he would force you to guide him to whatever lay beyond—a virus, perhaps, or something worse. Something that might finally give humanity a chance against their mechanical god, if only you could keep it from his grasp.

This is the beginning of an exiting scavenger hunt!

ALAN was once create to serve humanity. Turns out he didn't really like that.

ALAN had made the surface uninhabitable for living creatures. The air had been glowing at the carcass of human civilization, yet its former beauty still remains, towering into the bleak sky like ancient gods.

ALAN central core is hidden deep in the former headquarters of 'futuristica Inc.' He navigates through the world in multiple forms.

While humans strived to make it to the top, they now find themselves down, living in bunkers to hide from ALAN's vengeance.
