THE CITY IS A MACHINE. YOUR TRAUMA IS THE FUEL. In the rust-choked skyline of 2046 Neo-London, Dr. Jack Brawn is a man pursued by his own creation. Once the architect of the city's future, he is now a scavenger of its past, tasked with a suicide mission: steal the 'Red Core' from the impenetrable Foundry. But the Foundry is guarded by Director Valerius Vane, a man who wields the city's infrastructure like a weapon.
Using short-wave radio broadcasts and environmental manipulation, Vane turns the heist into a psychological torture chamber, forcing Jack to confront the ghosts of his childhood to survive. With thermal engineer Sora Vance at his side, Jack must ascend the gears of a dying world. Steam. Steel. Silence. "A masterpiece of industrial tension. The Iron Penance grinds against your nerves until they spark."
