THE VANGUARD PROJECT
In the early 1980s, humanity turned to automation as its last hope for survival.
Combat humanoids.
CRT terminals.
Disposable Operators.
Then the infection began.
What started as a desperate attempt to save the world became something far worse.
Each run reveals new fragments of the truth.
And the deeper you go, the more you'll realize the enemy was never only outside.
“The unit has been destroyed.”
“Assigning new combat shell...”
Welcome back, Operator.
