Synopsis
On oxygen-scarce Tinos, Blue fights Junk City's criminals with a broken AI after being cheated of life support.
We are in year 2035 on the Tinos planet, colonized 300 years before by some earthlings. With only half of Earth's oxygen concentration and with cold arctic conditions over most of Tinos, the human beings are forced to wear a life support apparatus that supplies the oxygen necessary for survival. The black market in such apparatuses is a flourishing business in the criminal world of Junk City. Blue, the protagonist, is in desperate need of a life support system after being mugged, but an unscrupulous bunch of criminals cheat him of his money and leave him with an outdated model with an old AI. As Blue navigates the dangerous underworld of Junk City, he finds himself caught between corrupt authorities and ruthless criminals, with only his malfunctioning AI companion, Fatso, to guide him through increasingly perilous situations. Together, they must find a way to survive in a world where human life is cheap and oxygen is the most valuable currency.
