An ordinary scientific expedition turns into a nightmare from the start. The scanner picks up abnormal interference, a companion explodes right before her eyes, and writhing, unceasingly moving monster flesh has taken root inside her body.
To stay alive, she has no choice but to make an emergency landing on a desolate planet. After touching down, she is not only chased by a bear, but also finds herself facing genetic-experiment monsters from other planets.
Wait, what do you mean there are cultists here and an evil god has been summoned?
Iris: I regret it now. I really, really regret it.
I should never have come! They could offer me any amount of funding and I still wouldn't come!
I'm just a researcher. Why are you asking me to fight an evil god?
They huddle together for warmth amid the ruins of civilization and press on beneath the shadows of monsters.
When science and reason fail in the wilderness, and humanity is repeatedly put to the test on the brink of survival, can they find their way home amid the chaos? Can they protect each other and avoid being swallowed by this mad world?
