A world on the brink
Ardem is set in a world in which artificial intelligence has turned against humanity and driven it to the brink of extinction. Long-abandoned cities have been reclaimed by nature, overgrown and dangerous robot androids roam the landscape.
As one of the last survivors, it is up to you to build a safe haven piece by piece and join forces with other survivors to fight against the machines.
