About

You are a corporate espionage freelancer. Your latest assignment: steal the reality-shifting Interpolator from the sprawling research labs of Project Sidereal. Use the device to escape the grueling defensive layers of Hadrian’s Wall and cross the threshold into the strangest frontiers of reality.

Steal

Designation: [Carrie]. Location: [Project Sidereal].

Assignment: under the instruction of your shady benefactor known only as [The Client], you must steal the [Interpolator] and use it to escape the sprawling research labs of Project Sidereal.

Fight

Project Sidereal is housed within Hadrian’s Wall, a maze of concrete warrens and liminal installations policed by the seasoned officers of the Oversight Taskforce.

Sneak past them, turn their defensive systems against them or take them head-on: the best path through the manifold dangers of Project Sidereal is yours to choose.

Evade

One final instruction: avoid the attention of the Overseer and his legion of mechanical Prosecutors, at all cost.

As always: if you get caught, you’re on your own, freelancer.
