In this sci-fi narrative, you are a sleeper, a digitized human consciousness inhabiting an artificial body that belongs to the mega-corporation Essen-Arp, which relentlessly seeks to reclaim you. Stranded in the Erlin’s Eye, an aging space station far from the corporation’s grasp, you must carve out a new life amidst its diverse and struggling inhabitants. Your path forward is shaped by the choices you make, the alliances you forge, and the secrets you uncover within the station’s chaotic existence.
Life on Erlin’s Eye
Erlin’s Eye is an abandoned station drifting on the edge of a collapsing system, once a utopian project founded by idealists following a corporate downfall. Now, it stands as a place of freedom, held together by makeshift alliances, rebellious factions, and a shared desire to break free from corporate oppression. This run-down, yet lively place is your new home, a place where survival isn’t just about staying alive, but about resisting the systems that would control and consume you.
Work, Survive, Thrive
Each cycle begins with choices: work, survive, or fight back. From toiling in the shipyards to running a bar shift or scavenging the markets for rare parts, your days are filled with tasks that either secure your survival or push you closer to uncovering the Eye’s hidden truths. Every choice you make deepens your involvement with the station’s residents, shaping relationships and forging alliances that can either protect or betray you.
Turn Up for Friends
The Eye is home to characters from all walks of life—hackers, salvagers, street vendors, and engineers, all trying to survive in the harsh realities of space. They each have their own stories, struggles, and dreams. By choosing to help them, you shape your own destiny, and together, you might just be able to reshape the future of Erlin’s Eye.
Uncover the Station’s Secrets
One of your unique abilities as a sleeper is the power to hack into the station’s digital cloud. Decades of lost data, hidden networks, rogue AIs, and corporate secrets await those bold enough to delve into these depths. With this power, you can unlock new areas, gather crucial information, and change the course of events. Every bit of data brings you closer to freedom, or perhaps, the danger of discovery.
Escape Your Corporate Makers
You were built to serve, and to die. To Essen-Arp, you are nothing more than property, a body designed to wear down and be discarded. But here, on the edge of the universe, you can defy them. In a world driven by exploitation and extraction, you must escape the decaying prison of your artificial body and forge your own path. This sci-fi story explores the themes of precarity, personhood, and the fight for freedom in a universe shaped by unchecked corporate control.
Will you survive long enough to see the next cycle, or will your makers reclaim what they believe is theirs? The future of Erlin’s Eye—and your fate—is in your hands.
