Ian is the hardware. Lena is the encryption key. Neither was meant to survive the night.
In the rusted remains of the Second Collapse, survival is the only law. Scav-7 Ian Cole has spent three years dodging mutants and avoiding anything that hums with pre-Collapse tech. But when a derelict terminal recognizes his voice, it triggers a sequence that hasn't been run in decades.
Now, a silver lattice is rewriting his nervous system, and a voice in his head-ECHO-7, a dead soldier with a thousand wars in his memory-is counting down to full integration.
The cost of staying human: 60% SYNC.
The cost of becoming a weapon: 100%.
The timer: 72 hours.
Driven by a map burned into his retinas and pursued by chrome-limbed nightmares, Ian and Lena Vance-a terminal patient with her own secrets-must trek across the Nevada wastes to Site-7. They're running out of time. They're running out of NP. And what they find at the end of the road may be the end of the world.
Features:
- Body-horror evolution and nanite integration
- High-stakes survival with an AI companion
- Progression system where every choice has a cost
- Dark post-apocalyptic worldbuilding
