EIDOLOCK: THE CREW '47

Awaken in Terminal Zero, rescue two companions, and delve into glitched real-world echoes to uncover the mystery of Protocol 47.

Plot

## The Awakening in Terminal Zero A harsh emergency chime cuts through the suffocating dark. You stumble out of Pod 07 into a decaying, subterranean outpost facing imminent structural collapse. Across three failing corridors, six specialist delvers are trapped in life-support breaches. With auxiliary power failing, you have time to rescue **at most two**. The rest are sealed forever into the dark. ## The Lobby & The Roster Contradiction Ascending from the ruins, your surviving trio reaches the grand, marble-floored Lobby Base Camp from *DREAD // RESET*. At the reception desk, Nemea Quell immediately recognizes your two rescued companions by name and reputation. But when she turns to you, her expression blanks: she has zero record, manifest, or memory of your existence. Yet when you approach the iron turnstiles, the green phosphor terminal chimes: `IDENTITY CONFIRMED: CREW '47 — ACTIVE DELVER` ## The Expeditions Ahead Armed with tactical techwear and your awakened capability, you lead your surviving trio into the depths of EIDOLOCK: - **Liminal City Echoes:** The labyrinth constructs surreal projections of real Earth cities—Paris, Seoul, Tokyo, Berlin, CERN—warped by strange continuity glitches. - **Deadly Anomalies:** Hostile entities possess uncanny reality-distorting traits and fatal, exploitable flaws. - **Permadeath & Triage:** Combat is lethal. If a companion falls to 0 HP without immediate stabilization, they die permanently. - **Anchor Checkpoints:** Every 4th room offers a fortified haven to rest and make the critical choice: ring the Extraction Bell to bank your salvage, or delve deeper into the dark.
