Airlock

300 years after the Sonic War, the surface is dead.The cities are ruins, reclaimed by nature. The air can become toxic without warning. And the descendants of the altered, twisted by the wavefront that ended the world, still walk above whilst the remaining humans live in airlocks underground.They are The Altered. They are not your enemy. They are what you could become. You wake in a strange room. A sentence written on the wall: Save them all, Kore. You don't remember anything else.

Plan in the ant farm. Live in the 3D city.AIRLOCK is two games working as oneThe Ant FarmIs the side-view dollhouse where you design your underground sanctuary.
Place modules cell by cell. Watch your Settlers move through corridors you authored.
Zoom from a single room to a full city cross-section, all alive.The 3D CityIs where you walk the corridors you built, fight on the surface, and rescue survivors from the ruins of Ashgate. Third-person over-the-shoulder. Modern post-apocalyptic. Cinematic. Switch between them at any Airlock Computer. Plan. Live. Plan again. Rescue Settlers. Build a home worth defending.Survivors broadcast for help across Ashgate. Pre-war emergency beacons, salvaged radios, smoke signals. Track their signals. Race Legion patrols to their location. Bring them home. Each Settler is a class. Engineer. Cook. Gunsmith. Hunter. Medic. Their skills unlock new modules. Their stories unlock new beats. They live in your base, work the rooms you built for them, eat what you grow, sleep where you place them. They die permanently if you fail them. Survive the surface.Ashgate is a city, reclaimed by nature.
You scavenge for food, fuel, ammunition, and the resources to upgrade your airlock.
You hunt. You craft. You fight. The Altered hunt you. Feral packs swarm at noise. Stalkers track you from distance, calculating when to strike. Husks. Hollows. Ragers. Wretches. Each silhouette tells you something. Then there is Legion. Smart. Centuries old. The hidden faction that knows more about you than you remember about yourself.Stories that hurt.AIRLOCK is grounded survival storytelling in the tradition of The Last of Us. Choices matter. Settlers die permanent. The world is heavy with quiet tragedy: a UGA coin in the dust, a faded sign, a dead loyalist scratching your name into a wall. Replay players will catch what first-time players miss. Key Features
