# Astral Sever

> Astral Sever is a third-person horror game set in the Glauc — the drowned cities below the fog. Three operators descend; the signal is weak; the building remembers what was done in it.

## What it is
- **Title:** Astral Sever
- **Tagline:** A descent into the Glauc
- **Genre:** Third-person horror / atmospheric shooter
- **Setting:** The Glauc — a post-conflict subterranean strata under permanent fog (the "fog well"), at depths labeled Strata −1 through −4 and below.
- **Mood:** Cinematic, suspenseful, oppressive. Cold glaucous palette punctuated by emergency red.
- **Status:** In development; teaser site only.
- **URL:** https://astralsever.com

## Concept
Operators are lowered into the Glauc to investigate fragmented transmissions from a cardinal beacon presumed lost. Field logs and intercepts reference biofilm that "listens," missing children, irregularities in the third reservoir, and an order from GLAUC HQ that reads in part: "we are sending the building."

## Recurring vocabulary
- **the Glauc** — the drowned strata; also used as a proper noun for the world.
- **strata −4** — the deepest known confirmed descent level; setting of the teaser.
- **fog well** — entrance vector for descents.
- **operator** — first-person role the player inhabits.
- **GLC-7** — the recovered transmission referenced on the teaser site.
- **cardinal beacon** — a navigational anchor that has gone "LOST".
