But when given a chance to save his daughter, he must descend once more into the nightmarish world of STEM. Horrifying threats emerge from every corner as the world twists and warps around him. Will Sebastian face adversity head on with weapons and traps, or sneak through the shadows to survive. For his one chance at redemption, the only way out is in.

In this playthrough we cover:

Chapter 1 - Into the Flame:

Sebastian Castellanos is haunted by memories of his daughter Lily’s death and his time in STEM. When former partner Juli Kidman approaches him with shocking news that Lily is still alive, he’s thrust back into the nightmare. Sebastian reluctantly agrees to enter STEM once again, hoping to rescue her from the decaying virtual town of Union. The chapter sets the emotional tone, showing his trauma, guilt, and desperation as the flames of the past reignite.

Chapter 2- Something Not Quite Right:

Sebastian awakens inside the fractured world of Union, disoriented and unsure what’s real. Searching for Mobius agents who vanished inside the system, he begins to experience strange distortions and horrific visions. In the depths of an abandoned house, he’s stalked by a monstrous figure called the Guardian—an abomination of blood and metal. This chapter introduces the game’s survival horror foundation and eerie, unpredictable atmosphere.

Chapter 3 - Resonances:

Now free to explore the open streets of Union, Sebastian uses his new communicator to track Mobius team members and strange “resonances” left behind by their psychic imprints. He discovers the city is collapsing under the influence of a murderous photographer named Stefano Valentini, who manipulates time and death itself. While investigating, Sebastian encounters surviving Mobius technician Liam O’Neal, who offers him refuge inside his fortified safe house. From there, Sebastian can craft weapons, upgrade gear, and receive new objectives through O’Neal’s terminals. As he continues searching for Lily, he realizes that Union’s once-orderly structure is tearing apart under the weight of insanity and corrupted memories.

Side Mission #1 - Rogue Signal (Chapter 3):

Sebastian picks up a distress signal from a trapped Mobius operative in Union’s commercial district. Following the signal, he battles through hordes of Lost and rescues the injured agent, uncovering more about the Mobius team’s downfall. Completing the mission earns Sebastian weapon parts and supplies, emphasizing exploration and survival choices.

Side Mission #2 - Unknown Origin (Chapter 3):

Another mysterious signal leads Sebastian to an abandoned area pulsing with dark energy. Investigating the source, he encounters a horrifying anomaly that hints at the instability of the STEM world. The event deepens the supernatural tension while rewarding players with valuable gear and insight into Union’s growing corruption.
