USSR 2.0 (years 2030-2035)

The discovery of an artifact in the New Arctic capable of synthesizing food triggered a world war. Country N won, and the artifact is now the most heavily guarded state asset. A surge of scientific research and an economic boom against a backdrop of mass hunger and social stratification shifted the core value of society to a single thing: food.

The VOMITPLANT// factory - that very factory, the heart of the country's entire economy. The artifact's energy powers the workshops where the bodies of the dead are processed into calorie paste for the population. Naturally, this secret is carefully hidden from the citizens. The factory runs unstably - nobody can tame its energy - so occasional power surges cause earthquakes, blow out windows and fill the streets with toxic gas. Everyone knows about it: people get alerted and have to shut their windows and temporarily shelter in basements.

Episode 1 builds the exposition of the whole story - it introduces the player to the protagonist (a young woman from a small provincial town who moved to the big megacity in search of work and a better life), her daily routine, her job as a butcher's assistant in a small shop, and the world at large. Who will she meet along the way in this world? Who knows... But one day she will end up inside that factory to find out what is really going on in this cursed city.
