Set in a futuristic space-age world, the game places you in the role of an assistant to , a neurobiologist from Miskatonic University. Your mission takes place on Yuggoth , a dwarf planet in the Kuiper Belt, where you study "encounters of the third kind".
The "Corruption" is not just a monster; it is a sentient, non-Euclidean virus that weaponizes pleasure and pain to break human will. The "Dolls" are not merely victims; they are volunteers who have had their memories spliced and sanity weakened by design. The game asks uncomfortable questions: If humanity defeats the Old Ones by becoming partially inhuman, have we already lost?
