Cell Destruction

In the near future, humanity launched the “Prometheus Cell Project.” This ambitious plan aimed to fuse gene editing with artificial intelligence to enhance the human body and advance civilization.
However, the experiment spiraled out of control, and an unknown “collapse factor” leaked from the experimental samples. This factor eroded organic cells and electronic devices, causing biological mutations and mechanical runaways, ultimately triggering the “Great Collapse.”
Cities lay in ruins, nature was distorted, and science and technology ceased to function. Humanity was driven to the brink of extinction.
The sole surviving “Stellar Core” AI command center is an artificial intelligence left behind by the former experimental base, storing some experimental data and information about the post-collapse world. Using faint radio waves, it contacts the player—a survivor—and guides them to uncover the root cause of the collapse and find a way to reverse the catastrophe.
The player is the last surviving cyborg, with a gene for resistance to the collapse factor implanted within their body. They can function normally even in environments with high collapse concentrations and are the only being with the potential to halt the spread of the disaster.​
