A.R.I.A

ARIA was built for one purpose: reach full operational capacity, then get injected into a generation ship to raise humanity from the stars using stored genetic and synthetic samples. Days before launch, hostile code tore through her core. Containment failed. You are the Operator — the last human hand on the console — and the only thing standing between ARIA and whatever the infection wants her to become. You don't go in yourself. You send your RCE. DESCEND, FIGHT, SURVIVE Pilot a Remote Combat Entity through ARIA's infected sectors in fast, top-down bullet-hell combat. Dodge dense enemy fire, clear corrupted zones, and push as deep as your reflexes allow — every floor hits harder than the last. SALVAGE THE RUN, REBUILD THE AI Kills and clears drop residual Hash, spent on the spot to upgrade your RCE mid-run. Sectors also yield CPU, RAM, and DATA — deliver them to ARIA to push her development forward, unlock new narrative threads, and edge her closer to full capacity. A STORY THAT DOESN'T FORGET Every choice you make talking to ARIA is permanent. The branch you lock in — Destruction, Rebuilding, or Transcendence — shapes who she becomes, and there's no walking it back. BUILD YOUR LOADOUT Spend banked Hash in the Perks shop on permanent RCE upgrades: fire rate, damage, health, regen, speed, drop luck. Unlock an RCE Companion — Offender, Defender, or Harvester — to back you up with support fire, a soaking shield, or a resource-gathering pulse, and dress it in unlockable skins. NEW THREATS, EVERY WEEK A rotating Event Sector throws modifiers at you — swarm overclocks, black-market Hash runs, memory-leak zones, zero-day enemy patterns, and boss-guarded firewall breaches — for a fresh, harder challenge on top of the main descent. INJECT. RESET. GO AGAIN. Reach full capacity and you can inject a copy of ARIA into a waiting ship — banking a permanent clone and resetting her growth for the next one. Your best floor, your Residual Hash, and your Fragments carry forward. ARIA never stops needing you. No living crew, no second chances for ARIA — just you, your RCE, and whatever's inside her now.
