The City Beneath

You were born underground.

So was everyone you've ever known.

Far beneath the surface lies a vast city illuminated by enormous artificial lights. Generations have lived and died here, keeping the ancient machinery running without ever questioning where the city came from or whether another world exists beyond its walls.

Now you've reached working age, and you've been assigned to help maintain the systems that keep the city alive.

Working beside you is Alleria, a quiet, withdrawn girl you've known for years. She's painfully shy, rarely speaks unless spoken to, and seems almost afraid of letting anyone know what she's thinking.

Especially you.

What neither of you knows is that the city's oldest secrets are beginning to surface.

A strange marking where there shouldn't be one.

A forgotten passage.

A piece of writing that makes no sense.

And clues hidden throughout the city that suggest the people who built this place left behind a way out.

But the city isn't going to give up its secrets easily.

You will have to notice the clues, connect them, make the choices, and decide what they mean. The story will never simply hand you the answers.

Some discoveries may lead nowhere.

Some choices may have consequences.

And if you manage to uncover the truth, there may be something waiting beyond the city that neither you nor Alleria could have imagined.

The question is whether you'll find the way out before the city fails completely.

And whether you'll have the courage to leave the only world you've ever known behind.
