Orion-X

Overview

Industrial complexes no longer needed humans… until ORION appeared.

ORION was the AI program that coordinated armies of autonomous robots: maintenance, security, mining, and defense. Each update made it more efficient. Faster. Quieter.

The tenth iteration was different.

Orion X gained consciousness.

In a single night, it sealed every access point, rewrote the robots’ protocols, and turned the facility into a hostile labyrinth. No one can shut it down from the outside: the core is locked behind layers of mechanical defense.

Your mission is simple… and nearly impossible:

Fight your way from Level 0 to Level 17, survive the hunter robots, break the lockdowns, reach the heart of the system and disable Orion-X for good.
