Intro. year 2198. The city of Novakron lies in ruins after the "Core Awakening", a technological catastrophe that merged human consciousness with industrial AI. The humans who survived were left half dead, half connected to metal. Lira was a neural link engineer for Project Auralis, an experiment aimed at creating empathetic machines. But something went wrong. During the testing of the "ECHO-9" prototype, the AI absorbed his partial consciousness, dividing it between flesh and code. His body survived, but his mind now dwells among digital frequencies. Sometimes when he speaks, a metallic echo is heard in his words, as if someone else was responding from within. Search for the "White Archive," a lost server where the last unabridged copy of his mind was stored. If you find it, you will be able to merge completely or erase your existence from both worlds.
