Slum Story — Description

Five years after the Fool's Virus outbreak, a new world emerges in Rustown, a quarantined slum where public authority has collapsed and danger lurks at every corner. The disease FEVID left roughly half of humanity lacking critical reasoning, and those affected were abandoned to survive in this lawless district. Slum Story is a narrative-driven action-adventure that follows Jian, who returns to the city after receiving a sudden letter from her infected father. For three long years she believed he was gone, and now she must descend into Rustown to uncover the truth and bring him home.

In this city of division, two forces clash: Vigilantes, who hunt the infected, and Blue Fence, a fortress built by the infected to endure. As Jian navigates between these factions, she confronts questions about the shadowy Research Lab and the fate of her father. The story invites players to witness cruelty and, crucially, glimpses of warmth that hint at forgiveness and coexistence in a world built on discrimination.

Key gameplay elements

• Exploration in a vertical city: Rustown is a three-dimensional maze seen in an isometric viewpoint. Progress through crumbling streets, rooftops, sewers, and hidden alleys to uncover routes others miss.
• Vertical traversal and environmental puzzles: Use a Hook to climb ladders, traverse beams, and discover shortcuts that reveal new paths.
• Stealth and non-lethal choices: An intruder in a hostile world, Jian can avoid confrontation by distraction, manipulating the environment, and slipping past enemies. There are bypass routes and non-lethal options for every encounter.
• Atmosphere and visuals: A noir-inspired world rendered in a low-poly semi-toon style with muted tones, rusty brick textures, and dim neon lighting to set a moody, intimate tone.

Theme and aim

The game centers on aTender Dystopia theme—a tale for players weary of hatred. Beyond surviving, the journey is about choosing humanity over division, seeking forgiveness, and envisioning coexistence amid fear. As Jian unravels secrets of the Research Lab and the city’s factions, the path home intertwines with choices that challenge what it means to belong to a broken, yet hopeful, world.
