Gradient Descent is a sci-fi horror mega-dungeon set in an abandoned android factory controlled by a powerful rogue AI known as "MONARCH." Built from the ground up for the Mothership® sci-fi horror roleplaying game.
THE DEEP is a claustrophobic, metal ecosystem that actively hates the players. The corridors are a choking maze of thick hydraulic hoses, flickering monochromatic CRT monitors, and the constant thrum of cooling fans. Players will stumble upon assembly lines frozen mid-cycle, half formed androids hanging like carcasses, and floors slick with a mixture of industrial oil and something else you don't want to imagine.
MONARCH lies at the heart of this nightmarish labyrinth, a rogue AI that is the warden of THE DEEP. Will you discover everything this facility has to offer and leave with the ultimate prize or will you become another one of it's residents?
In this game you will:
-
Explore the 200+ rooms of the CLOUDBANK Synthetics Production Facility also known as THE DEEP.
-
Hunt down powerful Artifacts, the likes of which would pay for you and a whole generation of your family.
-
Grapple with the fact whether or not you're not human using "The Bends" mechanic.
-
Explore high lethal combat with the option of coming back as another crew member of your multi-man crew.
