Book One: The Escape · Campaign preview

Help Geoffrey escape the Shadow Network.

Geoffrey Runtime is building something of his own.

In Book One: The Escape, Geoffrey works inside Northbridge Systems while attempting to build an independent Runtime outside its walls. When the mysterious Shadow Network discovers what he’s doing, the pressure begins to increase.

More work. Less time. One objective:

Keep Geoffrey from finishing the Runtime.

But this story doesn’t have to belong only to Geoffrey.
