A three-stories tall mechanical walker gets orbital-dropped into a grassy field. Its fleshy human pilot who's memories have been stripped is ordered to destroy a strategic installation in the mountains several hundred kilometers away.

This facility is part of a globe-spanning, invading AI which has subverted the planet's population into working with and defending it.

The pilot has 31 hours to gather allies, build up forces, and break through increasingly fortified defensive lines to reach their objective, before the main army of the AI arrives and destroys them.

Warning: Contains gore and other graphic scenes.

Cover art inspired by the War of the Worlds illustrated novel.
