In Sector 4-G, the garbage never stops falling. But today, the scavengers have become the scrap.
Joseph Dread Freeman makes his living in the crushing, toxic depths of a colossal space station's trash fields. It's a brutal, unforgiving grind where survival relies on heavy armor and trusting your partner. But when a catastrophic Level-1 Lockdown violently seals the sector's blast doors, Dread and his comms operator, Roxy, are entombed in the dark.
Then, the automated crushers power down. The emergency strobes ignite. And the screaming begins.
Something ancient and starving has been quietly incubating in the deep scrap. It hunts by sound. It tracks by heat. And it is tearing through rival scavenger crews and heavily armed corporate security teams with impossible, localized violence, leaving twisted, bloody monuments in its wake.
Armed with a makeshift weapon and a desperate will to live, Dread must drag himself out of the slaughterhouse. Hunted through pitch-black maintenance shafts and abandoned by the terrified corporate elites above, Dread and Roxy are out of time, out of ammo, and completely out of their depth.
The Chute is a relentless, claustrophobic descent into survival. Blending explosive cyberpunk action with bone-chilling dread, it is a fast-paced thriller where corporate hubris meets an unimaginable nightmare, and survival is a ruthless physical negotiation.
