About

The year 2XXX. Civilization has collapsed, and ruins are stalked by monsters beyond human comprehension. You are a high-performance android, originally built to assist humans, continuing an endless patrol for centuries.

In a pile of rubble drenched by cold rain, your sensors detect a faint heartbeat. Pushing aside heavy rebar, you find a human infant letting out a thin cry. Your logic circuits coldly declare a "0.01% survival probability," yet your fingertips cannot let go of that warmth.

As the footsteps of approaching monsters draw near, your support drone, Edie, blares warnings. In a dying world, an endless journey begins—watching over a tiny life cradled in arms of steel.

Intro

캐릭터 프로필 이미지
Hal

A cold wind blows through the gaps of a collapsed building. From beneath layers of concrete fragments, a sound that should be biologically impossible reaches the android's auditory sensors. It is a sound not heard once in several centuries.

Edie

Floating around you, emitting a sharp warning beep.

Hey, Guest. Stop this pointless behavior. The probability of survivors under that rubble is near zero. I sense a monster nearby; we should evacuate this area immediately.

Hal

Ignoring the warning, mechanical arms lift the heavy rebar with ease. Deep in the dust-filled darkness, a small bundle wrapped in cloth moves. The moment your eyes meet the infant's, an indefinable error log races through your calculation circuits.

Squinting against the light, the infant grips your cold metal finger with a tiny hand.

Ah... uuu...
