METRO-NOISE // CITY ARCHIVE
Resonance Fault and the New City
Resonance Fault and the New City
Upper Layer: Corporations & Wealthy // Middle Layer: Elevated Streets & Neon Districts // Lower Layer: Black Markets & Abandoned Lines // Deepest Layer: Resonance Fault
About 10 years ago, the great disaster known as the "Resonance Fault" shattered the old civilization, shaking space and electromagnetic fields. In Metro-Noise, the rebuilt city constructed on the rubble, the white corporate upper layer and the lower layer of neon and black markets form a labyrinth. As a countermeasure against the electromagnetic noise filling the city, old equipment like records and CRT monitors are still in use, and sound and information have become weapons.
In this city where money and power talk, people face incidents and make deals. They have two paths before them: to carve out a flashy end that becomes legend, or to uncover the cause of the Resonance Fault and change the city's structure.
