"A deadly plague ravages your world. Your last hope: a legendary alien facility dug deep into the Feldspar Mountains...a massive Pit, built by the ancient Suul'ka."
That was how it all started, but it's not where it ended. In a galaxy with one abandoned Suul'ka facility, might there not be another. Or many others?
After the success of our Indie, Roguelike hit
