SteamAbout Shelf Stable
Helix Dynamics Product Recall Certain lots labeled Shelf Stable were not. Do not open the container. Board the first-story windows. Thank you for your loyalty during this routine product-quality event. — Field Containment Division / Checkpoint Voss
The job
Horde-scale tower defense. You are a Field Containment Operator at Checkpoint Voss, the last forward ops campus still running. Place hardpoints on a surveyed site, aim their firing cones, and hold the line while a biomass tide walks into it. Every host is a real body in a GPU physics simulation — they push each other, pile against the ones in front, wedge into the nooks of corridors, and pour through the second they get a chance. Density will be the problem. Firepower will be your solution. Survey 1 is not a first-try clear. Lose, take the Gold anyway, file it into the Weapons Program, and come back with better hardware.
What ships in the base build
Built in Godot. The horde runs entirely on GPU compute — a Vulkan-capable GPU with compute support is required, and there is no CPU fallback.
