Story Overview

The story begins on a Space Immigrants planet that has experienced a devastating natural disaster, named Drowsy Vortex. As one of the survivors, the protagonist voluntarily became an investigator on the only remaining land, but whose daily life was immersed in finding investigation commissions and running errands. Although the living environment was not what it used to be, the survivors could still live in peace with mutual support.

One day, a huge and abnormal creature suddenly appeared on this very last land of the planet, disrupting the increasingly peaceful post-disaster life.

As people gradually accepted its harmlessness and began to get used to its existence, more weird situations beyond recognition have quietly penetrated into the protagonist's life... What truths are still hidden on the lost Drowsy Vortex?

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

NOTES: This work was set up in September 2022. For the purpose of conducting academic research on emerging technologies, AI image generation technology (which was still in its early stages of development at the time) was used to assist in processing the visual effects of some content, and an AI music generation tool was used to create the background music. In order to avoid the abuse of artificial intelligence generation tools, only the default data sets provided by AI tools are used during the development process. All usage methods include:
1. Process the real photos to create "alien" and "distorted" effects;
2. With the "abstract image generated based on the provided keywords", manually perform secondary design, reconstruction, and drawing;
3. Generate music clips that fit the atmosphere by adjusting parameters such as musical instruments used and pace, then perform secondary editing to them.
All contents involving artificial intelligence were completed before 2023. After that, AI image generation technology has been completely stopped, no longer and will no longer continue to be used for development.
For all AI-generated image assets utilized in the work, this work only reserves the right to use.
