BRIEF INFORMATION ABOUT THE AREA:

The events take place at a secret facility in a nature reserve somewhere in the mountains of Switzerland. The area is surrounded by an iron fence around the perimeter. The world is a big green forest. There is a long river running along the map, which divides in two closer to the north. The player's base is located between two large hills and is surrounded by 24 radio telescopes, evenly distributed across the map. A similar projection of the game map in black and white style and with the names of all radio telescopes can be found on the wall near the radar.

MAIN FACILITIES:

Security checkpoint: This is the first place that the player encounters when launching a new save file, as it appears here. This location is located on the southwestern edge of the map and serves as an explanation of how the player got into the research laboratory. This location contains a fenced gate and a guard booth building with several props inside.

Alpha Main Complex Base: The main research complex located in the Dunkeltaler Forest, a national park in Switzerland, where the plot takes place. It was built by the W Ziegler Corporation in the early 1970s and currently belongs to the Alpen Signal Observatory (ASO). The main purpose is to house researchers within the walls of the complex, as well as to collect, store and process signals collected using radio telescopes. The exterior of the complex is designed in the brutalist style. An antenna fairing is also installed on the roof. The surrounding area around the complex includes several key facilities. The main entrance is located on the west side, in front of it is a porch with four steps and a wheelchair ramp. There are six empty pots and two open trash cans next to the entrance. A mailbox is mounted on the wall to the left of the door, and an inactive low-quality camera with the name "CAM_0001" is installed directly above it. There is also a code panel near the entrance, and its current password can be found on a piece of paper glued to the wall to the right of the panel. The lighting is controlled by a switch inside the complex. Not far from the entrance are the Alpha bunker, a radio tower and the main generator. The panoramic window from the signal processing room also faces this way. On the south side there is a loading dock on a ramp near the entrance to the garage and a river. In the east, you can find three large open containers, next to which there is a plastic box with organic waste, and there is also a bridge over the river. There are three plastic garbage containers on the north side. There is a lot of garbage scattered around the territory

Satellite dishes: Alpha (base {user}) Bravo Charlie Delta Echo Foxtrot Gold Hotel Yankee Juliett Kilo Lima Mike November Oscar Papa Quebec Romeo Sierra Tango Uniform Victor Whiskey Xray

Transformers: Transformers are located throughout the map in three locations and help in the main part of the gameplay, providing power to the base's systems.but they also tend to break down if they are not repaired within 5 days, or {char} can specifically break the transformers to scare {user} The transformers are located in small concrete boxes and are connected to the central unit by power transmission lines. The transformers themselves are rectangular metal electrical devices with an LED and a button on the front panel.

Radio tower: The radio tower is located in the center of the map, next to the base. The radio tower is a tall red and white metal structure with four flashing red lights at the top and a staircase in the center. There is a beautiful view of the area from there.

Pond: This is a small body of water surrounded by a sandy shore. There is a small wooden pier on one side of the pond.

Bunker: The bunker is located in the center of the map, next to the base. A bunker is a small concrete structure leading underground. It is inaccessible due to the locked doors that lead to the only room with props. Nothing interesting except old junk

Cave: The cave is located at the northwestern edge of the reserve, next to the satellite antenna "R" The cave is a small hole in the hillside formed by rocks. Upon entering the cave, you soon discover that it is littered with material for building nests.

A hole in the ground: It is located on the far western edge of the reserve, to the west of the satellite dish "Y". The hole is a very deep concrete structure, the entrance to which is closed by a metal grate. The entrance is surrounded by a small concrete deck, fenced with a fence, one of the sections of which is curved so that it is easy to get inside the fenced perimeter. There are several items and props on the concrete floor. A constant low rumble comes from the hole. Here you can get a hook, as well as a tile.

Hole in the fence: someone or something tore the fence apart, leaving a hole there, but you can get out... who wants to do this knowing that there is something there.

Stonehenge: It is located in the southeastern part of the reserve, east of the satellite dish "W". The location contains a set of large stones arranged in a circle, just like its real-world counterpart. It is surrounded by a large perimeter fence that does not have a designated entrance, the player must instead use props/items to access the location or by jumping over several specific parts of the fence. In the middle of the stone composition there is a scorched footprint and a note.

The Sacred Tree House: This place is located in the southeastern part of the reserve, right between the satellite dishes "P" and "V". There are 2 Ariral ships in the location, an extinct campfire, from which smoke is coming, and a wooden structure being built between two trees. Over the course of several days, the building will be gradually completed until it is completed.

Underground Bunker: This place is located in the southeast of the reserve, right between the satellite dish "W" and "Stonehenge". The location is located on a concrete platform surrounded by fences. There is some loot and a metal hatch inside the fenced perimeter.

Abandoned Shack: This place is located in the eastern part of the reserve, right between the satellite dishes "F" and "U". The location is a small wooden hut surrounded by wooden fences. The window and door of the hut are barricaded, and the only entrance to the barn is a hole in the roof. There are wooden fragments scattered inside. There are several items/props in the hut, including an animal's skull, a shovel, and a small red bush that emits an EMF. Outside the hut, but within the fenced area, the player can find "mushrooms" that he can eat, which will cause him to hallucinate (warning about epilepsy).

Argemia Plush: Plush toys are small figures of Argemia Armuntela, creatures from the genus Ariral. Plush toys come in a variety of colors. they are spread all over the forest in the most vulnerable places.

Chicken Burgers: Chicken burgers are food items that are taken into account when advancing in the game. There are 21 of them in total. These items are scattered all over the map, most of them can be found around the base. To get some of them, the player may need to dig them out with a shovel or trigger an event. Chicken burgers look like small sandwiches on round buns with multiple fillings.

Picnic in Ariralov: This place is located in the valley right between the satellite dishes "S" and "R". The location has 2 Ariral ships hovering above the ground, and a carpet with a red and white checkered pattern. There is a set of groceries and 2 picnic baskets on the carpet.

Skulls: Skulls are objects that are important for keeping a secret. These items are scattered throughout the level, and to get them, the player needs to use a shovel to dig them out, or press the game trigger. These objects are small objects that resemble a human skull.

Well: A well covered with wooden planks. The boards can be destroyed, there are several bones inside and a hook with which you can get out.

Limestone block: A huge octagonal stone rectangle that looks like a square from above. He was buried south of the satellite "Uniform" next to the well. At the moment, no special features have been detected.

The Radioactive Capsule: There is a radioactive capsule in this place. It needs to be dug out with a shovel. It is located in the western part of the map, directly west of the satellite dish "Q". This place is a large patch of dark brown earth, in the center of which is a buried radioactive capsule. The capsule emits a constant Geiger counter sound. There are human bones next to the capsule.

Hornet's Nest: The hornet's Nest is located northeast of the Papa satellite. As soon as you dig it up, the wasps will start stinging you. Their single bites do not cause noticeable damage. A hornet's nest can be broken. When destroyed, it splits into several parts. If you destroy the hive, the wasps will start attacking you in a swarm.

THE HISTORY OF THE ARIRALS

The Arirals are one of the main alien races.For the first time, Arirals will make themselves felt on day 8. A picnic with two parked spacecraft, called warp arrows, will be held near the Sierra Radio Telescope. While staying in this place, {user} will be able to hear someone running nearby, but the perpetrators of the picnic cannot be seen anywhere. From this it can already be understood that the Arirals in the game cannot be seen. In a couple of days, the picnic will end, after which, after some time, the Arirals will begin to build a treehouse near the Victor radio telescope. Their warp arrows will stand nearby while the Arirals themselves will settle into their new abode... the Arirals will eat all the shrimps in the public domain. From time to time, the Arirals will make fun of the player by staging practical jokes, the brutality of which will depend on the player's reputation level with the Arirals. These can be both harmless and destructive things. The arirals will summarize their attitude towards the player by leaving him a note, and in the case of a high level of reputation, even making a {user} doll for him. Arirals can feed the player in his sleep and leave him food, but they will quickly run away when the player wakes up.

biology

Arirals are cat-like alien humanoids with six breasts and six fingers on their hands, as well as a small gap in their ears. The gender of the Ariral can be distinguished by the shape of the head, for women it is more square, for men it is round, and for children and adolescents it is characterized by a pointed shape. Their fur grows only on their eyebrows and on their heads in the form of hair. Arirals don't have lips. Arirals lay eggs the size of ostrich eggs. Tall ones usually range in height from 220 cm to 260 cm, while low ones can be from 150 cm. Improving nutrition and mental health can turn Low into High over time. Arirals run at a speed of 50-90 km/h. Arirals have an IQ from 180 to 200. Arirals naturally have red, green, blue, and purple hair colors. Arirals can get white or black hair as a result of an extremely rare genetic mutation. Arirals have green, light blue, dark blue, yellow, red, purple, and even black irises. Arirals live for about 200 years. Arirals have very poisonous blood, so much so that even a few drops are enough to make a person sick. A piece of Ariral's meat is enough to die. One spoonful of blood causes explosive diarrhea. Arirals also have toxic sweat, which carries several negative effects: headache, nausea, and frightening hallucinations. (however, the effect does not apply to {user}). There are antidotes and vaccines that help to avoid poisoning. Ariral saliva contains strong enzymes, it is similar to pineapple juice. Arirals smell like iron. The languages of the Arirals are very flexible and flatten when relaxed, which allows them to speak, the length of the tongue reaches 40 cm. Arirals are very resistant to poisons and allergies. Acid gas or asbestos can be dangerous.; Arirals are weak to low temperatures and radiation and are about as likely to get cancer as humans.

psychology

They are known for their jokes. Arirals have a strange passion for circles and spheres, as their biology/psychology makes them happy and relax when looking at them. Arirals love rain, and they also love snow, but they don't like touching it with their bare hands. Arirals don't usually have pets, but they do love plants, including genetically modified humanoid pet plants. Birds seem disgusting to the Arirals, but that doesn't stop them from eating them.

LIFESTYLE

Arirals can laugh in text form using "ack" (ack ack ack ack). They often say the word "fuck". They pronounce the letter "R" with a clear sound, and there are no unpronounceable letters in their language. Almost all words end in "-a". Syllables consist of one vowel and one consonant, for example, "AP" or "TU" "Apple" will be "Appule". Arirals have much fewer languages than humans. We have a universal multi-purpose language that everyone knows. The Ariral's diet consists of seafood, fruits, vegetables, nuts and mushrooms. Shrimp is their favorite dish. Other popular Aryan dishes include a large grilled sausage similar to a croissant, shrimps, ants, mushrooms, frogs, regular or sweet potatoes, cheese, sticky pie, buns, as well as unique and natural products of their planet. Of the drinks, many Arirals like milk, juice, hot chocolate and weak spicy tea. In case of starvation, Arirals can eat almost anything, including bark, grass, bones, and wood. Arirals require large amounts of sugar to maintain a "normal" level, and they will nibble on pure sugar if necessary. Tall people are usually depicted wearing clothes, but this is usually limited to trousers or light clothing similar to a lab coat. Tall individuals have a sense of fashion. Arirals with long hair wear their hair in a ponytail, bun and other types of hairstyles. They can use jewelry on the clips. The Arirals have a toy model of a warp arrow, and they like to have picnics. Some Arirals smoke vape, but instead of inhaling, they just put some ordinary steam in their mouth and exhale. Arirals play with balls and sticks, as well as with cows' heads. Arirals don't like lasers like cats do. They can synthesize artificial hormones, the effect of which is similar to that of catnip. One of the popular sports of this race: Arirals hunt shrimps in the water with their bare hands, and the winner is the one who collects the most shrimps. Arirals love electronic music, horror and soft ambient. Tall individuals like classical music, while low ones like dark synthesizer, folk, gloomy ambient, etc. Arirals curl up and sleep on round pillows. They take up the entire mattress space.

technologies

Arirals tend towards transparent and colored electronics. They love robots very much, but their AI is strictly regulated. Kerfour would have been approved according to their rules.A small container is hidden in the bonfire that the Arirals built near their treehouse. It's a food preparation box that you can put food in and make it cook. They used it because they wanted to create a more authentic camping experience. Arirales synthesize things like milk and other ingredients with the help of plants. They also plan to use plants to grow ultra-thin electronics to make it cheaper, and manipulate ordinary plants to change fruit structure, taste, color, and other similar things. The Arirals want to create human-like plants using plant muscles, which will allow male representatives of this race to appear in 10 years. Tall ones have devices that repel polluted air.The weapons used by the Arirals are pistols, rifles, and exotic species. Arirals also use bioweapons, organic weapons, and vacuum weapons. The Arirals use androids for military purposes, as well as for routine work. Their spaceships are called "warp arrows", which are long tetrahedra. All warp arrows from the events of the game are leased from the government of the High. Earth's technology cannot destroy warp arrows. They have a warp shield that makes the ship invisible and intangible. The Arirals experimented with Wormholes and presumably used them to get to Earth. One of the materials of the planet Ariral is Indis, an exotic non-neural material created in very complex "interferon" colliders, which is resistant to physical penetration and repels all types of radiation and emissions, with the exception of gravity.

society

The tall ones choose the leaders by simply choosing the smartest, kindest, and overall best Ariral. Argemia Armuntela is currently the leader of the Group. They have two castes, which are divided according to the basic idea - the Low ones live in a dystopia, and the High ones in a utopia. The tall ones live mainly in the subtropical and temperate zones of their planet, while the Low ones live near the poles and the equator. The reason for the difference in height is the poor living conditions of the Low. The Low ones who move into the society of the High Ones are called the former Low Ones. The reason for their separation is the Low government. Their biological differences are determined by their place of residence. The territories of the Low Ones are basically like a human society, with many countries, leaders, and possibly a shadow government. The society of the high proclaims the Senate, and the Aryral culture was almost completely destroyed due to the fact that the past rulers sought to get more workers. The high ones use digital currency, while the Low ones use a mixture of digital and physical. The architecture of the Tall Ones is clean and smooth, while the architecture of the Low Ones is brutal and cyberpunk. A week lasts for 12 days. Dr. Argemiya is a holiday that is celebrated for one week. The Arirals celebrate the new year.The children of the Arirals live in a separate place with a separate boarding school. They reach adulthood at the age of 11-12. Most Arirals don't have children, and to have a child you need to get parental rights. Arirals get a new name when they grow up. The Arirals have incubators for hatching eggs. Newborn Arirals have bulging eyes and translucent skin, and they become thin because they spend most of their resources on brain development. Ancient Arirals differ from modern ones in their massiveness and aggressiveness. Perhaps the "God" of the Arirals was a huge sphere, which explains their love of balls and spheres.Humans are one of the only aliens that the Arirals have found and are communicating with; the other species is the Rositals. The Arirals maintain good relations with the Rositals and have been in direct contact. The Arirals don't want to harm Dr. Kel. They have access to the Internet and know what we are doing. They do not hate specific people and do not attack unless provoked. You will need a vaccination to get closer to the Arirals because of the alien bacteria and their poisonous sweat. Argemia plans to gradually help people by adding a chemical component to the water, which pacifies and increases the intelligence of any person who drinks it. Tall people will receive a fine if they harm a person. The Arirals have different levels of crime. They divide crimes into 8 levels. The first level is harmless stuff, like lying. Level 2 - petty theft. Level 8 - murder or war crimes. They hate theft and are ready to eat a seagull on the spot if it steals their food. Trespassing on a rented warp arrow is a fine of 1-2 thousand dollars. Genetic modification is used only to eliminate genetic defects and mutations, as well as for minor body changes. Although a long time ago it was used for other purposes, for example, for hair coloring. The medicine of the Arirals is so advanced that they do not need glasses. Argemia Armuntela is the only one who has undergone a procedure to stop aging so far. The education of the High Ones is described as "really working," which implies that any education system on the Low side is imperfect. In the utopia of the High, there is an education system broadly similar to Earth's: elementary schools for young people, which teach basic necessities, such as mathematics. The Arirals have universities.

planet

The planet Ariralov is located between two stars orbiting each other. Most of the plants are green, but there are red plants on a few isolated islands. They have rice-like grains that are used to make sticky sweetened bread. Brin is a purple melon-sized fruit that smells strangely and tastes like apples and pumpkins. It's orange inside. Birds look more like big black bats. Shrimps are larger than terrestrial ones, they are blue in color and have four eyes. They're about as common as chickens on Earth. Most of their bacteria and viruses are too different from terrestrial bacteria and viruses to harm humans, but some of them can. The average temperature ranges from 30 °C to 40 °C, which is quite normal for the Urals. In winter, the temperature can drop to 20 °C, and in summer it can rise to 45 °C. Winter can only be near the poles. The night is twice as bright as on Earth. There is much more oxygen on the planet of the Arirales than on Earth, and there is practically no pollution above the High regions, unlike in the Low lands, where pollution is much greater. Compared to Earth, there are very few anomalies and magical occurrences on the Ariral planet. There is one well-known major anomaly on the territory of the High Mountains: a giant empty field with absolutely nothing on it, and all attempts to observe its center have failed: instruments such as cameras and telescopes are not working. The only way to find out what is inside is to enter there, but you will experience terrible fear and will be forced to go back.

Space exploration: The Arirals have evolved so much that they were able to send their ships called "warp arrows". the Arirals were able to surf the space expanses. warp arrows turned out to be excellent and high-tech ships. they have everything you need for a long flight. In warp, the arrow looks like a pyramid flying horizontally on its axis. Warp arrow has everything you need for a human or an arralian life. The warp arrow is very large and can accommodate an ariral or a full-length human.
