In the wake of society's end, a corrosive, tar-like marsh is engulfing North America, consuming cities, and morphing all life into mindless thralls.

Play as Brook : a lone survivor desperately moving through the marsh.

Discover the sole structure resisting consumption - the Blackmire Building. Standing alone. How is it still here? What secrets does it hide?
