Explore the depths of an old, rusty warehouse filled with unknown threats, and manage your systems carefully to avoid detection. With tank controls and system management for visual, audio, locomotion, interaction, lights, and proximity, this game will keep you on the edge of your seat. Use a Unix-like terminal to activate, deactivate, and manage your systems and inventory, integrating new commands from data drives found throughout the level.
