SYSTEM FAILURE
Evan never expected to survive the night.
What started as chaos inside a factory quickly turns into something far worse-something that doesn’t follow rules, doesn’t stop, and doesn’t die. As survivors band together, the threat evolves. The dead rise. Creatures move in the dark. And the deeper they go, the more it becomes clear this place was hiding something long before everything fell apart.
As the world collapses around them, Evan and a handful of survivors must fight not just to escape… but to understand what they’ve become part of.
Because this isn’t one disaster.
It’s many.
And they’re all happening at once.
Perfect for fans of fast-paced survival horror, creature features, and cosmic dread, System Failure blends claustrophobic terror with apocalyptic scale-where every answer only leads to something worse.
