ALTDEUS: Beyond Chronos

ALTDEUS follows the story of the organization 'Prometheus', the last vestige of humanity in a desolate world.

ALTDEUS: Beyond Chronos

ALTDEUS: Beyond Chronos is a VR interactive visual novel game in which the world is a barren wasteland and the only remaining vestiges of humanity live in an Underground City. Chloe, a Designed Human and mecha pilot serving in a military organization, is struggling to live in a world after the death of her close friend Coco . Her purpose is to defend the city from the alien creatures called 'Meteora's, responsible for the world's destruction, that now roam the surface - all the while seeking revenge against them for taking away her friend, and unraveling the true meaning of the conflict.

Integration Notes

The following are notes on elements that were changed, shifted, or adjusted for integration on SRTMOO.

• The world has not been rendered an utterly uninhabitable wasteland, of course - the Underground City is one of many Layered cities constructed in southern Africa by private interests when the /threat/ of global decimation loomed large during the middle Universal Century.

• While not an utterly free and open facility to the public, the Underground City is not absolutely isolationist and can accommodate visitors. Its inhabitants navigate and interact with public facilities by deeply incorporated augmented-reality tech - visitors will be given appropriate gear to view it this same way.

• Prometheus is an organization publicly affiliated with NERV, though more in the form of an alliance and research partner on-call for counter-attacks on kaiju and other anomalous monsters.

• Patroclus, as an instigating terrorism organization that's lost its way from lofty-sounding ideals and largely just acts to destabilize, is rolled into Amalgam.

• The Makhia-type mechs used by Prometheus have been downscaled from 400m to around 60m, and are developed specifically as a more reproducible mobile weapon at this size class, so there is an indeterminate number of them rather than just around a dozen (though they are far from commonplace). Those deployed by Prometheus utilize an experimental gravity-based powerplant proprietary to the Underground City - any models more accessible to other forces will likely use a more stable and traditional engine.

• While the Meteora have some temporal-manipulating properties, just as with the Boson Jump - explicit time travel is an element that can't straightforwardly be achieved outside of very narrow circumstances, and will require staff approval to touch more in-depth. They also are generally responsive to paranormal phenomena overall, and not simply time-related ones.

• Professor Julie is a long-lived and closely-connected researcher to Celestial Being. The Designed Humans are a Coordinator project with higher quantum brainwave activity.
