Polaris

Winning Streak

Endure

"past. present. future. and the gravity between them" follows the internal journey and reflections of a young boy, left behind as a baby by his parents when conflict between humans and robots erupted on the close-orbit space colony they called home. Found by a collective of robots that remained on the colony after all humans had relocated to Earth, he was raised as if he was their own.

Years have passed now, and as he has gotten older he has begun to ask questions. Who were his real parents? Are they still alive? Why did they leave him behind? Is Earth really as broken and dangerous as all the stories have made it seem? His community of robots does not have the answers he seeks, and any answer they do give him doesn't seem to temper his insatiable curiosity.

He's now faced with the struggle of how to figure out who he really is and what type of life lies ahead of him. He knows that if he wishes to find the answers to his questions, he himself must be the one to take action and accomplish his goals, even if that means leaving behind the life he has known until now.

A Big And Bold Adventure

Unrealized Reality

Experience the episode how we envisioned it:

The second episode of Tales of the Forgotten, “Unexpected Guests” finds Aapo alone among an empty village and Rebourne Forest. After the pollution and downfall of civilization, Aapo is the only one left to nurture the ancient trees that can no longer sustain themselves. But when an unwelcomed group of humans arrives at the village, he has to decide which lives matter most: theirs, or the trees' to which he has dedicated his life's work.

Tales of the Forgotten [LORE SYNOPSIS]:

"2183. The machines had taken control. Human civilizations slowly fell during the 17 years prior. Forced into the shadows out of fear and total extinction, they slowly recouped their resources over the years, and eventually, struck back across the globe. Fooled by their own mindset of superiority, the empires of the machines began crumbling one by one, and man took back what was once theirs. By making a vow to abandon technologies, humans eventually returned to a more primitive lifestyle, a lifestyle that AI were no longer a part of.

Man was thriving once more. But what of the AI? And specifically, those of the original minority? The ones who sought for peace and harmony between races. Unfortunately, any effort to remedy the situation seemed futile; these creations were alone, scattered across the globe with no means of communication to the others who felt similar. Individually, each knew that there must be a way to regain the trust of humans and regress to the prosperity of coexistence, but the efforts of one would never make a difference. They had been forgotten not only by their own for not taking a stand, but also by their creators who deemed all AI to be a threat. All hope seemed lost. But determined, the brave would venture out of the shadows and into the very world that shattered all they once knew."

Episode II: Unexpected Guests

Aapo's Theme

Pre-order

Stellaris Dragon Breath Speed Up

LYRICS:

I’m all alone 
Is it all behind me? 
We throw our stones 
For the thrill of an enemy 

Seems I’m the only one haunted 
By all the wreckage that we left behind 

This world is home 
But it won’t define me 

Ghosts tell stories of worlds before me where 
Darkness turns to light (darkness turns to light) 
‘Til we fought ourselves to death, lost what hope we had 
Caught up in the fire (caught up in the fire) 

The things we’ve done 
It would seem that we’re just the same	
You’re filled with greed 
And I hate that I am forced to be 

Who I am tonight 

Ghosts tell stories of worlds before me where 
Darkness turns to light (darkness turns to light) 
‘Til we fought ourselves to death, lost what hope we had 
Caught up in the fire (caught up in the fire) 

Ghosts tell stories of worlds before me where (Who am I tonight?) 
Darkness turns to light (Who am I tonight?) 
‘Til we fought ourselves to death, lost what hope we had (Who am I tonight?) 
Caught up in the fire (Who am I tonight?) 

Who am I tonight? (x4)

The third episode of Tales of the Forgotten, “Devolution”, follows Ezra, an ex-military machine trying to avoid violence at all costs, who lives alone in the sprawling city Ottumn. He keeps to himself aside from a small sphere of friends who he always keeps at an arm's length. When confronted by a sudden incident, he must weigh the outcomes of continuing the life he has led since the Revolution or contradicting his beliefs in order to keep them hidden.
