Seizing the chaos, the enigmatic Chloe Bennet crafts a fanatical, ritualistic cult, transforming their chemical terror into absolute submission. Isolated and hunted, Jack must navigate a labyrinth of rusted pipes and engineered madness to expose the truth before the bunker becomes their final tomb.
