Story

The city has fallen into darkness, with an unknown force replacing the light. Players defend a single rooftop with a rifle, facing an encroaching corruption that grows with every enemy encounter. The objective is to survive the night and escape the city's monstrous inhabitants.

This survival shooter challenges players to manage their limited ammunition and resources against waves of creatures. The narrative emphasizes a constant struggle against both the physical threats and the internal corruption gauge.
