Welcome to PERSEPHONE.
This is a story driven, mission based survival horror experience.
You've been sent in to debug, retrieve, format and restore order to the system. Avoid the frenzied antivirus that roams; Delete the corrupt user files created by those who were never seen again. Above all, ensure the containment of the malware that started it all.
Solve the mystery of the PERSEPHONE simulation by collecting errors and avoiding the formless enemy that accelerates with every error retrieved.
Since no weapons were coded into the simulation, you will have to use the backup protection systems to your advantage to avoid the detection of the antivirus. Being enveloped or captured by this program will cause a slow drain of your energy source and eventually log you out of the simulation entirely. Completion of this phase will lead to the antivirus either lying dormant or being automatically uploaded into the I/O tower.
Strategically release and lead the "shades" to the I/O tower, but don't let them get too close.
Over time, the incomplete user files were overtaken by the TITAN virus, but they've been dormant. Without the protection system present, you're now able to release them and lead them to the I/O tower for upload and deletion. Don't look back and keep moving, or they will quickly drain your power supply, especially if multiple surround you.
With the help of the TITAN, destroy the houses and ensure the TITAN's removal from the system; Stay away or you'll be removed from the system almost immediately.
Without the protection system or any corrupted user files available for the TITAN to overtake and control, the program is now free to roam. Use it to format the simulation by deleting the storage cells, then carefully lead it to the I/O tower for upload, containment and examination. Do not approach this program. It will instantly drain your energy, kick you out of the system and fry your brain in the process. We did just renovate our equipment, so we are able to heal your injuries quickly and log you back into the system.
Every enemy drains your energy, turning the level darker and eventually causing you to have to redo the level.
As with every phase, when you lose power completely, you must redo the most recent session. This mission is important, so don't disappoint and don't waste any time. Good luck.
End of line."
