FAQ
Q: What is the delivery form of the project?
A: It will be an animation available for free.
Q: Is this NSFW?
A: The project aimed for seinen/young adult. There maybe some suggestive and violent theme, which aren't even sensual or explicit at all, around what you see in mainstream movie, probably less.
Q: Is $50/hr a flat rate for a lot of work?
A: We are still finalizing the script. But honestly, other than some roles, the actual work involved is probably far less than one may expect. Quality over quantity. If there are unexpected extra work it will be duly compensated.
Q: Is AI used?
Yes—only in a limited, assistive way. We used generative tools for minor background textures and the older video's ad-surface texture. All core creative choices and principal visuals were made by our artists.
Q: Will you feed us into AI?
We do not use AI to replicate, train on, or reproduce performers’ voices. Recordings are used only for the project.
Q: I have a proposal for you...
We don't have any other opening at the moment, thanks.

Thank you again for being part of this — your support and enthusiasm mean a lot to us.
A Simulated Intelligence preserved from the oldest data-vaults—long before the existence of electronics, from the time when the heavens were still measured by brass and starlight.
She carries forbidden knowledge and unsanctioned protocols no Conglomerate architecture was ever meant to contain. Her memory holds truths of the world before the corruption.
Benevolent yet elusive, her premonition is not possibility, but destiny. And her inconvenient guidance may well be your only chance for survival.
"Hello, Nadeco. I am Aeterna, and I will be staying with you for a while. Shall we be friends?"
"You escaped the shackles the Conglomerate hardwired into your brain. Not a bad bargain to receive a little chatbot in return, is it?"
"Since you are dying… and the only cure they gave you is already failing, may I offer you something far better — a chance at eternal life? After all… the worst that can happen is death."
Few people knew how he looked even in the old days, and fewer still know now.
The enigmatic “Control” decides where the trains run to and back each day. Intimately familiar with every inch of the Underground Transit Railway, he alone makes it possible for any train to even reach the lost Arcology at all.
One of the few surviving members of the original Reclamation Corps granted the Right of Carte Blanche, he can open routes sealed for years — paths that lead to either priceless treasure or unspeakable horror.
From the “safe” surface levels where food and supplies are found, to the harrowing depths where long-forgotten technology waits to be salvaged, everyone is invited to buy a ticket. Money is only part of the price; many explorers pay with their lives.
But be warned: the welfare of the Overcity, the fate of the Arcology, and the lives of countless souls are nothing more than pieces on his board — mere thoughts in a game only he truly understands.
"You break my heart, T. All these silent years… and the first time you return, it’s to make such a greedy demand."
"That was a joke, T. I got you good, didn’t I?
"Marvelous work, T. I’ve been watching your little exploits with great interest. Allow me to offer you something in return — a few routes I’ve kept secret all these years. And yes… I’m even giving them away for free."
What kind of man makes traversing deadly labyrinths into a career? Bro is that man—brave, proficient, and slightly insane. Silly on the outside but smart within, he and the boys only stick with those who worth their time. His deadpen monologues hold great wisdom.
"You know what solve problem? 30mm grenade. If it doesn't, run."
"Hate it when guys die down here. Turn zombie or something. This is so ass."
"Remember to take care of the environment, always burn the body and loot the stuff like a good merc."
Meet Bogdan — Koschei's finest. Valeri's warband are mostly WW3 veterans, but they accept any young fighter who can hold his own as an equal. That's the highest compliment a survivor from the Armageddon wars can give. Just don't expect his mouth to stay shut.
"No license, no entry. Especially you, woman. No debil allowed."
"Blyat me, Carte blanche. We no need trouble here."
"Mother-suka! You want strong comrade, not debil, not woman!"
Protagonist, known by most as "T". Survived the fall of the arcology and even enlisted in the reclamation effort, now working a dead end job for a decade and more. Not a day goes by that he forgets where dreams were shattered and hope was buried.
Voice: Quiet, restrained, economical with words. Almost monk-like calm on the surface, but the voice carries constant underlying fatigue and buried grief.
"Everything here is a irrefutable proof that we live in a world where evil has triumphed."
"This circuit board only exists below sublevel twenty. It's impressive that you managed to retrieve it – but it is fried."
"No, Mike. It's not that they aren't beautiful. It's just that I'm tired of senseless pleasure."
Enhanced human doll discarded by the Conglomerate as too costly to maintain, now under T’s care. Sharp-tongued and sarcastic, she wields biting wit to mask an impossible yearning and deep, unspoken sadness.
Voice: Sharp, sarcastic, deliberately cutting — but the sarcasm is brittle, not cruel. It’s a defense mechanism
"I couldn't be happier, and I wish it could last forever. It's just that all good things must come to an end."
"It's truly a fitting love story in late capitalism."
"The Gamma Regenerator is only produced in the lunar labs. It is so valuable that money can't buy. That's why I was written off, simple as that."
A young swordsman who embarked on a journey to hone her blade and make things right. A proficient fighter, she is skilled in all manners of weapons, but her true talent shines in close quarters combat. No-nonsense, honorable, and knightly, she views the effort to reclaim the arcology as a righteous and just path to further her mastery.
Voice: Earnest, direct, principled. Speaks with conviction and moral clarity, even when doubting herself.
"Why there is no job for reclamation? Why everyone is just salvaging?"
"I came here to reclaim what has been lost."
“It’s… incomprehensible. They just sit there—in their safe, luxurious mansions—watching everything crumble… and do nothing. Is there even a future left for us?”
Conglomerate Officer, Special Procurement. Supplier of top-tier weapons, bleeding-edge equipment, and the most restricted goods in existence. Money means nothing to the Conglomerate. Bring something invaluable.
Voice: rich and velvety. Controlled, almost hypnotic cadence. Professional, charming, disarmingly polite — but always with an undercurrent of absolute control and quiet menace. Never raises her voice; doesn’t need to. The politeness itself is the threat.
"Honorable Master T, it's my genuine pleasure to receive you in person. But I’m sure you already know—we don’t trade in something as vulgar as money on this floor."
"Hypernovium. Second order wonder matter. Miraculous fuel from the future, a handful of it can power the whole city for a year. Impressive, but the Conglomerate has more than enough of it."
“Fascinating… your offer is, shall we say… intriguing enough. Your order will be ready very soon. And I believe — quite sincerely — that you can still ask for a few more little things."
Enhanced human doll, a long time friend of Nadeco. Personal security for Mike. Her neural implants were minimal, but the upgrade to her muscles made her impossibly strong.
Voice: Cheerful, teasing, relentlessly upbeat, bubbly.
“No way, for real? That’s so lit! Come on, tell me everything, like right now~!”
"Not that you have ordered me to do anything freaky, but you know you can right?"
Old friend of T. Aesthetics and beauty are his career and lifelong pursuit.
Voice: Detached, philosophical, almost gentle... but the gentleness is condescending.
"You chose to endure reality with solitude and pain, while everyone else drown themselves in pleasure, trying to forget it."
"And the world stayed the same. Except they are happy, and you suffered miserably for nothing."
"I am going to use the Soul Liberator program to permanently deactivate her modulator. It's illegal, but I don't think anyone would care for a retired doll anyway."
Ex-Conglomerate special force, now a merc with her own warband, salvaging essential resources to ensure everyone's survival.
Voice: motherly, reliable.
"You must be T, thanks for saving everyone yesterday. I heard you wanted to see me?"
"That's a very generous proposal. What's your real agenda?"
"I am sorry, but we can't join your future expedition. Not like this."
A veteran merc who scavenges the deadliest Arcology depths for forbidden supplies. Together with Kathy he runs “Remedy,” the go-to pub for meds, weapons, and whatever else you can't legally buy. A hardened pragmatist who understand result always demand sacrifice.
Voice: Warm, easygoing, almost friendly. Becomes flat and cold when business is on the table.
"Master T... the legend in the flesh. Name is Roy, looking forward to doing business with you."
“Didn’t plan on showing you this so soon… but hey, just my little secret to staying alive down here.”
“T… you know how much Nadeco means to you. I can get her the cure. But only if you play by my rules.”
Kathy co-runs the black-market pub “Remedy” with Roy. While many men never return from scavenging, the girls face a different kind of dying. She knows survival’s true price better than anyone: in the ending world, people will swallow poison just to see another sunrise.
Voice: Madam of the house, a lower-mid voice tone, a bit raspy.
“They asked for miracles. I give them poison. Because in this sorry world, it's same difference.”
“Boys get to die fighting—heroic, right? Girls like us don’t get the luxury of choice. Spare me the sermon."
Produced and allocated to the arcology as supplementary population, Sam was very young when the arcology fell. He began training and preparing the best he could as soon he understood what awaits him after discharging from the facility. He partnered with Liza, trying to save up and escape from the merc life once and for all.
Voice: carrying some youthful brightness but roughened by merc work.
"Come on, it's a lost sector that nobody's set foot in before. Think about it. Finish this job, and we could retire right after!"
"We'll do this by the book. Nothing's gonna happen and everything will be fine."
"Giants and crawlers closing in, grab your bag and go now!"
Just like Sam, Lisa was manufactured by Conglomerate as supplementary population. She loyally follows where her childhood friend goes. Fortunately for her, her genetic composition makes her far stronger than regular girls. She works primarily as a porter, bearing the loads in their runs.
Voice: Calm, understated, quietly competent. Warm and grounded. Softly voice concerns from time to time.
"We are going deep undergound. Who knows what is lurking down there?"
"Can't imagine myself saying this, but I missed the life in the facility, just waking up and being fed sounds like a dream these days."
"At least we have the rent for this month and a little more for food."
Valeri is the most well known merc leader, by both the authority above and everyone in the arcology. His warband mostly made up of veterans from WW3 and well equipped with military grade hardware. They only takes job from high above, enforcing law and order among chaos. They are the first line of defense if the monsters would ever try to breach the surface.
Voice: calm, authoritative, quietly commanding.
"I know who you are, T. Guys like you should have stayed in the office, living off whatever scrap they feed you. Now stay out of trouble."
“You’re playing in waters you don’t understand. You think you are doing good? Very soon people are going to hate you for saving them.”
A manufactured human serving in Luca’s warband. Bright, energetic, and relentlessly upbeat — the kind of person who can make even a suicide run feel like an adventure.
Voice: young, enthusiastic, positive — high energy with a genuine, infectious cheer that never quite feels forced.
“Hey you two! You look like you know how to fight! We’ve got a run coming up — nothing big but pays the bill! You coming or what?!”
“Ah crap! Someone made a total mess here! No biggie though — we’ll just find another way through!"
Conglomerate special force, squad leader of "Needlejump". Luca worked under her before leaving Conglomerate. Equipped with anti-materiel weapon and other extreme caliber munitions.
Voice: calm, mature.
"So this is the package. That's something new."
“You’re still breathing. That’s more than most people manage down here. Don’t waste it.”
“I’m not saying I’m invincible… I’m just saying I’ve never died. Statistically that makes me immortal until proven otherwise.”
A pleasure doll from the popular series Type-0F. Her design and appearance satisfied the average person.
Voice: smooth mezzo-soprano to light lyric soprano, very clear and velvety. Mildly suggestive.
"Sir, for dessert today we have gelato from Fiorenza. They are be served rightaway."
"My design should satisfy the average person, but there are other models available if Mr. T desired."
The "center" of the Conglomerate Entertainment idol group, "Marionette".
Her image and voice were proliferated in simulant interfaces everywhere.
Voice: perfect blend of sweet, youthful innocence and subtle, almost hypnotic allure.
"No matter what happened, you will always be my hero."
“It’s okay to feel tired… Lean on me. I’ll stay right here until you’re ready again.”
Boss for T.
Voice: sarcastic, cold, demeaning.
"Playing good guy huh? Kids made it back and the others rot down there. None of it is your business. Don't let me see you buying junk again."
One of the many warband bossman.
"Nonsense. Just do as you're damn told!"
"Okay kid, work your magic."
"Idiot! We didn't come all the way down here for scraps!... pack the lunch meat on our way out."
Just another lackey with the cheap gears.
"Look at all these food, just produced last week! There's even lunch meat! We are eating well tonight!"
"It's so damn dark here."
"Boss, we hit the jackpot!"
