Velm is behind the wall. A port, a rail yard, forty thousand people — and a Blight that does not kill a city but keeps it. Go in, bring back what you can carry, come out.
Velm was a working city. Forty thousand people, a port, a rail yard, and a research park on the hill that nobody asked questions about.
On the ninth of March the park stopped answering. By the twelfth the ring road was a wall.
The Blight does not kill a city. It keeps it — standing, walking, and hungry.
Nine months later the wall still holds. Everything inside it is salvage, and salvage needs people willing to go in.
You are one of them.
A port city built on freight: docks in the south, rail yard in the east, old town in the middle, and the terraced quarry that fed the concrete works. Forty-one thousand registered residents. The evacuation order reached eleven thousand of them. The rest are still inside, and most of them are still moving.
A cultured fungal strain, grown in Sector 12 for crop yield and never cleared for anything else. It does not eat a body — it moves in, keeps the heart going and takes the rest. Hosts stay warm, stay upright, and stay useful to it. That is why the city never went quiet.
The ring road was cut, mined and walled in nineteen days. It is not a siege line — it is a lid. There is no plan to retake Velm, no relief column, no cure programme. There is a wall, a licence office, and a price list.
One cycle is five waves. Then a checkpoint: extract with the loot or go deeper.
DEPLOYThe squad lands on the central plaza. The city is generated from a seed — new streets every run.
PREP · 60 sGather scrap and electronics, build barricades, spikes and turrets, seal a door. READY cuts the timer to 3 s.
WAVES 1–4The horde walks the streets through doors and breaks barricades. 14 seconds between waves to resupply.
WAVE 5Three phases: charge → frenzy + slam → summon. Guaranteed weapon, mods, a chance at a unique.
CHECKPOINTEXTRACT — bank the loot and leave. CONTINUE — deeper, meaner, priced accordingly.
You are not army. You hold a salvage licence: you go over the wall, you bring back what you can carry, and you are paid by weight and rarity.
Rifles, grenades and adrenaline. Holds the line and pushes it forward.
Keeps the squad alive. Heal pulses, shields, fast revives.
Turrets and mines. Turns any street corner into a kill zone.
Fast, precise, fragile. Finds the weak point and makes it hurt.
Every sector is around a hundred screens with its own environment. Streets are rebuilt for every run, and the same seed gives the same city.
09Starting sectorEighty screens of dead city: streets, blocks, shops and houses you can enter and barricade. Radiation spikes close off blocks; the horde comes from every exit and manhole.
07Level 1A marshalling yard on the quarantine line. A wagon is a wall and the gap between two is a door.
04Level 3Industrial district: warehouses, container yards, fuel dumps. Long sightlines, few doors.
02Level 4Office blocks packed wall to wall. Alleys one step wide, and nowhere to run that the horde cannot follow.
12Level 6Residential blocks swallowed by the blight: spore fields where the yards used to be, and something in riot armor guarding it all.
08Level 7Everything under one roof, and the roof is the problem. One long gallery, shop units either side, holes in the floor.
30Level 10A freight port gone under. Canals, bridges, piers. You can shoot across the water. Nothing walks across it.
Some hosts it does not spend. It builds them: thickens the plates, fuses the joints, and gives them a job. The Warden holds a line. The Shepherd holds a pack. The Usurper takes what you built and turns it around. They are not commanders. They are organs, and the city is what they belong to.
