DR0M3-D4R10: a primitive fairy tale at the end of the world
Overview:
In the not-so-distant future, Earth, choked by plastic, sends a secret expedition to an uninhabited planet to test an extreme method: having animals digest waste. The scientists land on DR0M3-D4R10, a dry and mysterious land, and begin the experiment. But the animals fall ill, the project fails, and the expedition is abandoned to its fate. In a desperate attempt to survive, they begin hunting the planet's only sentient creature, upsetting a sacred balance. The planet's revenge is not long in coming. Only one option remains: to leave a memory, a mark. A distant voice, native to the planet, tells their story.
