About this game
CLASSIFIED MATERIAL THERE IS A CLASSIFIED MATERIAL ARCHIVE. Field recordings from The Strangeland. Materials not cleared for the public build. Your first mission: find out how to get clearance.

The world doesn't explain itself upfront; it gives you more the more you put in. There is no map.

DISCOVER The music of TesseracT's album War of Being runs through the game, not as background, but as something that carries meaning. The album's lyrics exist inside the world as fragments. They show up in the environment, come out of conversation, surface during exploration. Assembling them is part of how the game's d…
