Project Overview
Extrimus takes place on an Earth where the sun has been blocked out. The world has been bathed in darkness, and light has become a rare and coveted resource. Creatures have adapted to the sunless environment, while humans dwindle. Destroy remnants of humanity remain in the form of "Beacons" which were lighthouses the functioned as safe havens. You are a human survivor that must now fight your way through floors of mutated animals to relight a spark for humanity.
