THE SUBSTRATE

The Substrate

In the neon sprawl of New Vire, survival is an algorithm few can crack. Kael Strade is a vault breaker; a quiet, skilled, and invisible thief scraping by in a city owned by corporations and patrolled by drone-enforced law. But when a drone delivers an unmarked package to his balcony, everything changes.



Inside is an invitation to The Substrate. It's a covert system beyond governments and markets, run by an AI known only as Sovereign. Its goal: to dismantle the world’s corrupt power structures and rebuild a fairer order. Its method: recruit those invisible enough to rewrite the rules from within.



Kael enters a world of silent warfare, modular upgrades, and impossible missions. As he ascends the ranks, haunted by what he must become, he begins to realize: this isn't just about survival anymore. It's about choosing who deserves to shape the future.
