A.V.E.N.A.

HUMANITY WANTS YOU

   The Corporate Consulate has started recruitment process of pilots for the Exploration Corps: a multicorporate program tasked with researching the world and technologies beyond the Primal Portal.

   Using neural interface, one does not pass through the gate in person. Instead, you pilot disposable drone frames from the safety of the research facility on Earth and send them into a hostile world on the other side. Your body stays home. Your drone does not.

   This is science.
   This is duty.
   This is a training program.

   This  is a live fire "research and extract" operation run by united corporations that measure every step in compliance reports, casualty rates, and quarterly output.

   Past the portal lies the battleground populated by those who ended the last world: enemy machine armies, unknown technologies and the lingering shadow of EVE, the artificial intelligence on Earth whose martyrdom humans remember. The public story is simple, but the reality is far more complex.

  Every mission deployment is another controlled descent into the unknown world. Piloted drones fight through enemy territory, conduct researches, obtain valuable technology, and bring back the information for improved future performance. With every advance made, the official story starts unraveling.

   You are not the first pilot.
   You will not be the last one either.

Note from the Program Director:

   Currently, all missions are being performed inside combat simulators built up from actual data from the other side of the Portal. From an official standpoint, we do not take any unnecessary risks until after full-scale deployment.

   At this stage of the program, all deployments are conducted in sanctioned combat simulations built from real portal-side data. Officially, no pilot is exposed to unnecessary risk before full operational rollout. But, unofficially, we have been collecting all relevant data: efficiency, obedience, and survival.

Key Features

• Pilot disposable combat frames
  Deploy remote drones through a one-way portal while your operator remains on Earth.

• Tune your drones to suit your style
  Pick out a combination of weapons, hulls, chassis, and other parts to create a drone build that matches your combat style.

• Roguelike gameplay loop
  Your drones cannot be retrieved. Each run is a random collection of combat encounters with one-time upgrades.

• Complete missions, gather useful data
  Gather field data, technology, and other useful things that will help you in future deployments.

• Keep improving with every run
  Upgrade your loadout based on gathered intel to give yourself better chances on the next deployment.

• Step into a world colored by propaganda and obscured history
  Experience a sci-fi game inspired by corporate control, manufactured patriotism, and the mystery surrounding EVE, the Hivemind, and the Primal Portal.

• Be a part of the program
  Become a participant of the “exploration initiative” in which every briefing is motivational and every loss is acceptable.
