Once trapped in linearity, Lualdi now lives its grim past, its torrential present, and its cataclysmic future all at once. Second by second, the region marches towards a seemingly inevitable apocalypse that is shrouded in enigma not for what it will do, but why. The answers to the mysteries surrounding the impending calamity may lie deeper in the reaches of time than any may expect -- and somewhere with them is the answer to if Lualdi can even be saved or if it should be abandoned to its fate. But whatever you do, do so quickly... The apocalypse will not wait for you to make up your mind.
North of Spegna City, the skeletal remains of drilling rigs lay in ruin among the torn-up desert earth. Once, the Spegna Oil Fields were a lucrative business, and there are even still some now-abandoned homes from workers who lived on-site decades ago. Oil spurts forth from cracks in the ground, coalescing in the burning desert sun and giving the fields their distinctively unpleasant smell. Where the desert slopes, oil flows in rivers and collects in pits, and the flash floods of the desert have their potential hazards magnified by the Spegna Oil Fields. In the rain, the oil can almost travel farther than it otherwise would, and consequently, traces of oil can be found even miles away from where it originated.
