II: Aether by Oceans & Omens

The second instalment of our saga, chronicling The Survivor's trials and tribulations in the realm between realms. A blasted wasteland of cracked earth, yawning chasms and strange weather systems, all harshly lit by the caustic glare of a cold, otherworldly sun. Having been denied passage to the eternal rest of the afterlife, our broken protagonist is left to wander the trackless wastes of Limbo.

But, is he truly alone?

Witnessing apparitions manifested in the ethereal mists and premonitions conjured from spirit-laced winds. Prophetic images foreshadow an apocalyptic end in blood and ruin to the mortal world. The Survivor finally stumbles across the denizens of this wretched realm, the very real nightmares that have haunted myth and legend since time immemorial. Demons and abominations spawned from the pits of the deepest hell; a dark legion mustered by the will of the deific incarnation of ruin and destruction itself. An army with a single, primal purpose. To exterminate the world of men.

Fleeing from the abyssal horrors, our terrified outlander desperately seeks a means to escape this prison. To find a way back to the mortal realm so he can warn humanity of the dark tide about to be unleashed on the world.

But, fleeing past the point of exhaustion, pushing a body beyond its breaking point, desperately trying to escape the scions of chaos in blood-frenzied pursuit, a terrible realisation dawns...

There is no way out.
