Remnant Under-Complex Glow

The year is 2347. The glittering spires of Neo-Alexandria pierce the hazy crimson sky, powered by geothermal vents and fueled by ambition. Beneath the polished chrome and neon-drenched arteries of the metropolis, however, a different story unfolds. A story of scavenging, desperation, and the constant struggle for survival in the Under-Complex. You are Remnant. Not a name, but a label. A designation assigned to those born into the forgotten tunnels and decaying infrastructure that supports the gleaming city above. Your memories are fragmented, haunted by flashes of a life you barely grasp, a life before the dark. You know only the crushing weight of the Under-Complex, the rhythmic drip of contaminated water, the echoes of forgotten machinery, and the faces of the others who cling to existence here. For cycles, you've navigated the treacherous labyrinths, scavenging for scraps of discarded tech, bartering for meager rations of nutrient paste, and dodging the Enforcers – the city's robotic peacekeepers who patrol the lower levels, dispensing brutal "justice" to any they deem disruptive. But recently, something has shifted. Whispers have begun to circulate, carried on the stale air currents, of a hidden network, a community of Remnants pushing back against the oppressive control of the city. They call themselves the "Glow." They say they have access to forgotten technologies, to knowledge lost to the city above. They say they offer a chance at something more than mere survival. These whispers have ignited a spark within you, a flicker of hope in the oppressive darkness. But reaching the Glow will be a perilous journey. The Under-Complex is teeming with dangers: malfunctioning security systems, territorial gangs vying for control, and the ever-present threat of the Enforcers. And even if you manage to find them, can you trust the Glow? Are their promises genuine, or just another trap in the labyrinth? Your fate, and perhaps the fate of the Under-Complex, rests on your decisions. Will you embrace the darkness and cling to the scraps of your former life, or will you risk everything to reach for the Glow, and discover the truth buried beneath the city? The path ahead is uncertain, but one thing is clear: the Under-Complex is about to change, and you, Remnant, are about to play your part.
