Prologue: Awakening
Waking up from stasis is not like waking from sleep — it's like being ripped out of eternal darkness. Your eyes sting, the light is blinding, and the air is heavy with rust and cold. A metallic voice repeats: “Power failure. Evacuation suspended.” After decades in cryo, you're alone — in a facility that hasn't been safe for a long time.
Hibernation Chamber
- You awaken inside a capsule. It’s freezing cold — but something forces you to act.
- You find a screwdriver on a terminal.
- Use it to remove an electronic module from another console.
- The door is blocked. The only way out is through a hole in the ceiling — as if someone tried to escape the same way before.
Stage 1: Outside
Front of the Supermarket
- You step outside. The abandoned parking lot looks frozen in time.
- A car sits near the exit — dusty windows, silence inside.
- A red lockbox is mounted on the supermarket wall.
- The main doors are barricaded, but a crowbar (found later) will let you force them open.
Back of the Supermarket
- You explore behind the building. Trash and old boxes are scattered everywhere.
- Inside a trash bin, you find a copper wire.
- In the cardboard piles, you discover a pair of pincers — old, but functional.
- Combine them to craft a wire pick — a crude but effective lockpick.
Stage 2: Finding the Key
- Return to the front of the store.
- Use the wire pick to open the red lockbox.
- Inside is a small key — perfect for simple locks.
Stage 3: Employee Room (Back of the Store)
- Use the small key to unlock the back door.
- The room is musty and stale. A rusty fridge hums in silence.
- On a bulletin board, you find a rusty key — long forgotten.
Stage 4: Opening the Car and Finding the Crowbar
- Return to the car and use the rusty key to unlock it.
- Inside the glove box, you find a solid crowbar.
Stage 5: Returning to the Fridge
- Head back to the employee room.
- Use the crowbar, then the screwdriver, to pry open the fridge.
- Inside you find:
- A bottle of acid,
- A fuel canister — your most valuable find so far.
Stage 6: Store Interior
- Use the crowbar to force open the supermarket's main doors.
- The inside is still and dark. Emergency lights flicker above.
- You find an electric cable — likely from an old tech display.
Stage 7: Solar Panel
- Behind the store, hidden in overgrowth, stands a metal container.
- Use the crowbar to pry it open.
- Inside is a portable solar panel — dusty, but working.
- Combine it with the cable to create a cabled panel for later use.
Stage 8: Restoring the Car Battery
- Use the screwdriver to remove the dead battery from the car.
- Combine the following in the crafting menu:
- Dead battery,
- Acid,
- Cabled solar panel,
- Electronic module,
- Screwdriver.
- You create a repaired battery — a desperate but clever solution.
Stage 9: Escape
- Install the battery. A click. The light turns green.
- Pour fuel into the tank.
- Turn the key — the engine roars to life.
The screen reads: “The city is wrapped in silence...”
End of Chapter One
The car rolls out onto the cracked asphalt. Fog thickens around you, and in the distance, the silhouette of the city looms. But this is not the end — only the beginning...
Will silence be your ally... or your final enemy?
