Your name is Stephen Cartwright, you are an Engineer at the Xterrier Colony built on a planet at the far end of our galaxy. The colony was built by both the US and Great Britain and is run by British and American scientists. Its your turn to go on a survey mission to correct the Satellite Beacon on the North Plateau which monitors air traffic, which has somehow been disabled.
Set in the year 2089, in a universe dominated by a mega corporate entity, Xterrier, the player awakes in a hidden lab to the voice of the mysterious Wilson. Guided by Wilson, the player must make their way through the ravaged Xterrier 581c colony, making use of any and all resources they can get their hands on in order to survive, all the while attempting to piece together the events leading to the colony's collapse and their own identity.
Of course correcting the Satellite is a very simple task, but like all Xterrier personal, it is a job no one wants. It involves getting up early to take a transport to the other side of the planet, which at this season can be very cold and very tedious.  


What you don't know is, when you return to Xterrier, you are welcomed by something you weren't expecting. Something that no man can imagine and something that will lurk in your nightmares for the rest of your life. You find that all the colonists have been transformed into some sort of mutated monsters that have no intention on letting you live; and worse yet, there are no survivors except you.
