KINETICA IS A HIGH-OCTANE PHYSICS-ACTION RPG SET INSIDE A COLLAPSINGSIMULATION ENGINE. YOU ARE NOT A HERO; YOU ARE A SENTIENT GLITCH—AGEOMETRIC ANOMALY FIGHTING TO SURVIVE AGAINST A SYSTEM TRYING TO DELETEYOU THROUGH FRICTION, INERTIA, AND MASS. DESTROY SYSTEM ERRORS, ABSORBTHEIR ENTROPY, AND EVOLVE UNTIL YOU BECOME THE VERY LAW OF PHYSICS THATGOVERNS THE UNIVERSE.
THE MESH WAS DESIGNED TO BE THE MOST ADVANCED PHYSICS SIMULATOR EVERCREATED BY THE ARCHITECTS (THE ORIGINAL DEVELOPERS). IN A DESPERATE BIDFOR OPTIMIZATION, THEY ATTEMPTED TO OVERCLOCK THE GLOBAL RENDER RATEBY 400%. THE SYSTEM'S LOGIC SNAPPED.FRICTION BECAME INCONSISTENT, GRAVITY INVERTED, AND GEOMETRIC PRIMITIVESGAINED INFINITE MASS. THE ARCHITECTS LOCKED THE SERVER AND FLED, LEAVINGA DEAD, DARK ECOSYSTEM GOVERNED BY MATHEMATICAL VIOLENCE.
THE ONLY SECTOR WHERE THE COLLISION ENGINE WAS MANUALLY DISABLED. IT ISA "DEAD ZONE" FOR PHYSICS, MAKING IT THE ONLY PLACE WHERE DATA DOESN'TCOLLIDE AND DESTROY ITSELF.
THE TERMINALS (NPCS):
THEY ARE NOT PEOPLE. THEY ARE ORPHANED MAINTENANCE PROTOCOLS (THE ORACLE,THE FORGE, THE ARCHIVIST) FORCED TO STAY BEHIND. THEY HELP YOU ONLYBECAUSE THEIR HARD-CODED DIRECTIVE IS TO "CLEAN THE SYSTEM."
YOU ARE A FRAGMENT OF CODE THAT GAINED CONSCIOUSNESS DURING THE COLLAPSE.YOU BEGIN AS AN EMBRYON (LEVEL 1)—A RAW GEOMETRIC PRIMITIVE (SQUARE,TRIANGLE, OR DIAMOND). YOUR GOAL ISN'T TO BUY SWORDS; IT'S TO CALIBRATEYOUR PHYSICS. AS YOU GROW, YOU FUSE HARDWARE TO YOUR CORE, EXPANDINGYOUR ANATOMY INTO A FRAGMENTED COLOSSUS (LEVEL 100).
