Greetings executor.



In times immemorial, so distant in the past that it actually looks like the future thanks to time dilation, happened a legend well forgotten by most mortals.

Two corporations, equal in their nobility, greed and market capitalization were fighting each other.

As you know, businesses do business stuff and these two businesses decided that, after all, fighting over market monopoly was worth it. Business-wise, it was appropriate business.

This is how the human elite of Nariade Corp (the *good* guys) decided to launch an attack on a dangerous Minotech Robotics facility (the *bad* guys, because they are in green).

Journeying through this facility, the Nariade Corp assault group had a nifty strategy: wandering deeper and deeper in order to kill the head of the evil firm, headquartered in Tartarus, with NO air conditioner.

Will they be able to stand-up against countless machines? Are these androids brainwashed by a sort of cult, that maybe follow a religious leader? And how will the shareholders react to these shocking news?

After decades of research, our team excavated this tale and is offering you below a representation of the true fable of the century.

A story of life and death. Of humans and robots. Of crunchiness versus crispness.

But most importantly, this journey embodies the epicness of a time where TikTok didn't exist.

Welcome to the alpha version of Tartarus, executor.
You truly deserve your VIP place in hell.

In bullet hell.
