After discovering that the planet has resources that behave in strange ways compared to typical Earth elements, the government sent an initial team to research the alien atmosphere before permanent human relocation.Exploration was unstoppable. Once on the planet’s surface, scientists found incredible organisms—plants and fungi, as well as beautiful rock and crystalline structures deeper within the crust. The problem only began when they drilled too deep.Steel against rock, the ground reverberated a pulse through the caverns, changing the very environments around the explorers—and their biology. Scientists morphed into odd creatures as their minds seemed to attune to the planet’s ecosystem. Other creatures came out of hiding to do the same. Meanwhile, Employee 465 lies just far enough away to feel the pulse, somehow resisting its effects.Roaming the laboratory where they were awakened, they find an experimental weapon that would change everything. This weapon, made from rare elements within the lower layers of the Abyss, binds with Employee 465 to grant them the ability to reach into the fourth dimension.This merging causes them to attune to their weapon and its new properties as they descend into newer, more uncanny facilities within the layers. Succumb to the corruption or rise to the challenge. Can you survive the Abyss?
