Trapped in a city beneath the surface, you awaken to a world of forgotten souls, scavengers, and something far more sinister lurking in the shadows. Rat City is a refuge for those cast aside, ruled by a mysterious figure known as the Rat King-a creature both feared and revered. As you navigate the tunnels, unravel secrets buried in the ruins, and encounter beings both friend and foe, you begin to question who can truly be trusted.

But the past is never truly dead, and in the depths of the city, an old betrayal stirs once more. The initials T.R.K. are carved into a machine that shouldn't exist. A man with a glowing arm whispers dangerous truths. And somewhere, in the darkness, something is waiting.

That's what people do. That's what everyone does. Keep their demons buried and tell lies to keep them buried. And people love so that they can heal, so that they can find relief from continuously battling their demons. To have someone to share their burden with. And havoc occurs when the demon is stronger than your will, when love isn't enough to keep the monster at bay. " A girl, torn between her heart and mind. A boy, set out to avenge his parents. A pair of twins with only one, deadly goal in their life. A country ruled and oppressed by a power-hungry mad man. Will they ever be free?
