Undernauts: Labyrinth of Yomi/draft

**Undernauts: Labyrinth of Yomi** is a first-person dungeon crawler developed by Experience Inc. and published by Aksys Games in 2020 for Nintendo Switch and Playstation 4.

It is set in a futuristic cyberpunk-themed Japan.

## Gameplay

Need to explain classes, backgrounds, skill points, attribute points, and all that cool stuff. Need to explain how boosts work.

## Plot

You're part of a new company that enters Yomi. Your entire crew gets wiped out by a girl with a bug arm, and the portal used to escape Yomi is broken -- presumably by the Mad King.

## Characters

### Divine Child

The Divine Child was found in Camp 2 after everyone was slaughtered by the Demon Child (Red Luci).

## Glossary

### Yomi

A giant structure that suddenly appeared 25 years ago (March 1, 1954), swapping places with Suginami City. Inside the structure is a labyrinth where argen can be mined. Other structures also appeared in Sedona, Arizona (USA) and Lake Baikal (USSR). It was eventually dubbed "Yomi" by Hideki Kuzedo.

### Argen

A natural resource found in Yomi that is gathered by the undernauts. It has incredible energy density, and when used in fusion reactors, the thermal efficiency approaches 100%. It is becoming a core part of meeting the world's energy needs.

### Fusion Reactor

A power generator that uses argen as fuel. Every base camp has at least one. Not only does it power the camp, it also creates "Yomi Flowers" need to mine Yomi.

There's also a battery backup in the event that the reactors stops so that there's emergency power for a few days. However, the battery doesn't have enough power to open or close the Chinowa gate.

### Chinowa Gate

Each camp is connected to the outside world with a transporter called a Chinowa Gate. Everything enters or exits Yomi through one of these gates.

### Arda

The proper name of what is called "the Otherworld."

### The Unified God

The Unified God is the forced combination of the three primordial deities -- Light, Dark, and Neutral.

Supposedly Pope Luminaria (?) forced the primordial deities to merge.

### Demon Child

Presumably all humans who have regular human forms are labeled *Demon Child* by the inhabitants of the Otherworld -- or more specifically, followers of Arderism. The Unified God had combined humans and demons together in order to create harmony or something. So anyone who was born looking completely human was considered to lack the blessing of the Unified God, and therefore evil.

### Mad King

A man who challenged the Unified God to battle. The Mad King was born looking like a human and was condemned as a Demon Child. His right eye was gouged out and he was cast into the forest where he would have died, if not for the mechanical soldiers that lived there.

The Mad King used the "Charm" power in his right hand to control people's hearts and built the "Dying Light Alliance." With them, he waged war on the Arder Empire.
