About This Demo

HUMANITY WANTS YOU — DEMO ACCESS APPROVED

   The Corporate Consulate has approved public access to an early Exploration Corps training deployment.

   This demonstration includes a limited combat scenario, designed using information gathered on the other side of the portal. Through the Exploration Corps interface you build an experimental drone body, and embark upon a simulated combat mission to test performance and compliance.

   Your life is safe inside the laboratory.

   Your drone is disposable.

   We’re recording your progress.

DEMO STATUS

  This demo is an early, limited version of A.V.E.N.A.

  It is not the full game. It is not the complete Exploration Corps program. It is not the final version of our combat, progression, drone assembly, enemy variety, or world structure.

  It is the first public test build.

  We originally wanted to include more systems and content in this demo, but A.V.E.N.A. is still in active development, and we decided that showing the current foundation was more useful than keeping everything hidden until a later, more polished stage.

  The result is a raw but playable look at the core idea of the game.

What is included in the demo

   The demo gives you access to a specialized part of the Exploration Corps training regimen:

  • Study the Exploration Corps drone assembly interface and construct disposable combat drone

  • Venture out into one designated play zone

  • Fight your way through a selected array of randomly chosen encounters

  • Upgrade your drone to survive as long as you can

  • Participate in the central gameplay loop of building, deploying, battling, being defeated, improving, and trying again

   This is still a relatively early stage of training and not yet a fully developed game system, involving limited access to equipment and encounter types as well as deployment zones.

   The full game will offer full access to Exploration Corps headquarters, more choices of drone pieces, weaponry, encounter types, progression mechanics, enemies, landscapes, and provide insight into why the Primal Portal exists.

About the game

   Using a neural interface, you control disposable combat drones that are dispatched past the Primal Portal, while the human operator stays on Earth.

   Every dispatch is an approved infiltration into hostile ground. Build your drone, fight random battles, collect data and advanced technologies.

   By official record, this mission is known as a united scientific endeavor.

   In reality, this is nothing but a live testing laboratory for corporations, where casualties are acceptable, pilots are replaceable, competition is as high as it can be.

   You are not the first pilot.

   You are not expected to be the last.
