REMNANT:
The Boreasby Blueprint

Modern fractures, hybrid threats, and ordinary people facing a dark future.

In a fractured landscape marred by “The Strife,” a low-intensity insurgent war has become the grueling status quo. A5 Research Agent Fletcher Whitney is tasked with reconstructing the truth from a massive quantum core known as Big Blue. When Fletcher interrogates a mysterious hermit, he discovers a manuscript that shouldn’t exist: a perfect blueprint of the war written years before it began. Remnant explores the chilling intersection of AI, corrupted history, and the unrelenting war between good and evil.
