The story
On the desiccated seabed of KARKANIS, scavenger Mara unearths the Lumina Core from the ribcage of a fallen leviathan automaton. Her action ignites ancient machineries, but also wakes the Scraptitan—a gigantic predatory walker forged from rusted hull-plates. Accompanied by her hulking iron golem companion Snare, Mara flees across treacherous kelp-forges and towering needle-spires as the monster relentlessly tracks the core's cyan glow. Reaching the holy Citadel of Spores, Mara is trapped on a high ledge over an empty ocean trench. In a desperate final gamble, Mara plunges the core into the Citadel's dormant conduit, triggering an explosive deluge of bioluminescent ocean waters that crushes the Scraptitan and instantly revives the dry world into a shimmering underwater paradise.
