Gather cards, modify your spells, and adapt to each run.

Mankind looked to the stars. The enemy was waiting below.

Beneath Earth's crust lies Inearth: a vast Underworld of ancient beings, alien life, and human settlements. The myths we dismissed as superstition were but distorted accounts of what waited below. Mankind descended with scientists, soldiers, and machinery, determined to understand, settle, and subdue Inearth.

Our expansion reawakened the Worldroot, an ancient organism whose branches connect distant worlds. New Gates open every day, making way for extraterrestrial horrors.

To contain the threat, VEIL abducts ordinary people with an inherited ability to manipulate matter. It gives them basic training and sends them below.

You are Subject Yellow. Your task is to reach a Gate, cross it and sever the Worldroot branch from the other side.

Success will close the Gate behind you and strand you on an alien world.

Mankind will gain a little more time.
