00:07Hello, I'm Ki, your AI assistant, and I will be your guide through what awaits you in Cthulhu,
00:16the Cosmic Abyss.
00:25Welcome to the dark, dystopian future of 2053.
00:30You are NOAA, a field agent working for ANSILE, a covert organization dedicated to confronting
00:37truths humanity was never meant to uncover.
00:42You are sent to investigate what caused a billion-dollar underwater mining station to
00:47fall silent, and its entire crew to disappear.
00:52Latest reports suggest that they had just found traces of what may be the lost Cyclopean
00:57city of Rulai.
00:59You are tasked with navigating the crushing darkness, exploring the derelict station they
01:05left behind, and uncovering what truly happened in the depths.
01:10Look for information, audio logs, anything that could help us understand what they were
01:15doing here.
01:16All the evidence you find can be examined, manipulated, and analyzed.
01:22But analysis requires energy, and energy is limited.
01:27Manage your resources carefully.
01:29Scavenge power wherever you can, even from the strange bioluminescent organisms growing
01:35in the dark.
01:37Information in the abyss is fractured, and will not yield its secrets easily.
01:42That is why I maintain your vault.
01:45Everything you discover is stored there.
01:47Evidence.
01:49Data.
01:50Findings.
01:51By connecting facts and answering key questions, you actively shape your understanding of what
01:56happened, and what may still be waiting below.
02:03Down here, your senses might no longer be sufficient.
02:07But with your sonar, you can perceive the abyss through sound, revealing spaces and movement
02:12where sight fails.
02:15Analyze clues and unlock frequencies.
02:18Each is tuned to highlight specific items or materials in your surroundings.
02:23From faint organic traces to the energy signature of a battery.
02:28As you dive deeper into the unknown, you may uncover ancient tablets, artifacts that enhance
02:34your capabilities.
02:36Improved analysis.
02:38Stronger sonar.
02:40With each expansion, your systems evolve.
02:42And so do the risks.
02:47But the deeper you descend, the less stable reality becomes.
02:52Exposure to incomprehensible events and unfathomable monsters affects your mental state.
02:58Hallucinations bleed into perception.
03:00The environment responds in ways that defy logic.
03:03What you see, and what you hear, can no longer be fully trusted.
03:09Corruption is not a simple value I display for you.
03:12It drains your strength, your focus, and eventually, your choices.
03:19There are no clean answers waiting below.
03:22Only consequences that will echo far beyond the ocean floor.
03:27But never forget, your conclusions matter.
03:30Each chapter of your investigation can be completed in different ways, depending on what
03:35you believe and what you choose to overlook.
03:39The truth adapts to your interpretations.
03:42Every system at your disposal, every conclusion you reach, points toward this same realization.
03:48This was never about what was lost.
03:51It was about what was found, and what waits for us.
03:56Dreaming.
