In 2301, Laurie lives alone in a space pod orbiting Earth, tinkering with her bionic arms. An alien assault forces her pod to crash onto Colony 102, a rumored source of a secret weapon. The game plays as a Metroidvania, letting players explore the colony, craft gear from enemy drops, and eventually pilot a vehicle into outer space to battle in zero‑gravity environments.
