Alpha footage

Twenty-six seconds in Ardavan Yard.

No cutscene, no cinematic camera, no edit. This is the multiplayer sandbox rendered straight out of the current build.

Gameplay trailer · 26 seconds · 1280×720Rendered offline from the current build, one frame at a time on a virtual clock, so a GPU-less box produces a steady 30fps. The bots are seeded: every render is the same fight. Music is “Ironwood Oath” by Þrøngva, written for this game.

Alpha footage of Ardavan Yard, the 6v6 multiplayer map — not campaign material, and not a cut trailer with title cards. It is the sandbox as it plays today.

In play

Operators, weapons, and a status bar that means something.

The same four frames the repository ships as its gameplay record. Nothing is posed: these come out of the playable build with the squad, the fire and the HUD where they fall.

01The deploy gate: mode, difficulty, side, operator and armory before you enter the yard.

02First contact at the Nightcell spawn: the C9 Kestrel on a Directorate fighter.
03Moving up the centre lane between the containers, squad ahead.
04Holding the spawn exit: stamina, armour, magazine and reserve on the status bar, frag ready.

Captured from the playable build at 1920×1080 by tools/art/capture-gameplay.mjs, which drives the real game rather than posing a scene. Click any frame to view it full size.

Two perspectives

Same night. Different truth.

Every theater contains two opposing playable campaigns. Both are canon, they overlap in time, and each reinterprets the other. Start with whichever side you want.

Rook Campaign — Nightcell

Rook

An American deep-cover operative eighteen months inside a contractor’s logistics network. Rook believes the mission is to expose Orison Strategic. Rook is wrong about who authorized the cleanup.

Approach: Suppressed weapons, physical bypass, alternate entry
Pressure: Almost every armed group is hostile
Missions: Dead Drop · Black Relay · False Dawn

Rook dossier

Leila Campaign — Countersignal

Leila Farzan

An Iranian counterintelligence officer tracing impossible signatures in classified telemetry. She is competent, skeptical, and right about the anomaly — and the evidence reaching her command has been manufactured.

Approach: Signal analysis, surveillance control, authorized routes
Pressure: Her own orders may be compromised
Missions: Counter-Signal · Broken Chain · First Light

One night, two records

The signal timeline

Both campaigns run through the same hours. Each protagonist witnesses part of it, and misreads part of it. Nothing below spoils the Complete Truth epilogue.

01:10Rook meets Vale

01:13Leila receives intrusion alert

01:16Orison kills Vale

01:18Leila locks the district

01:23Rook disables district power

01:24Leila uses the blackout to isolate a false relay

01:41Both depart toward K-17

03:40Rook enters lower K-17 maintenance

Ardavan Yard

Where the alpha is played.

The 6v6 multiplayer map: three lanes, two vertical routes, and no one-way geometry. Every frame below is captured in engine from the current build.

01The C7 carbine at the Nightcell muster point, looking north through the IRON RAIN cargo yard in cool industrial daylight.

02The west catwalk above the pipe rack — one of the yard's two vertical routes, and the only place both spawn markers are visible at once.
03The east lane, running between the storage tanks and the perimeter with the gantry deck overhead.
04The C7 carbine beside the central hard point, with pale concrete cargo modules and the refinery structures beyond.
05From the east gantry, looking back across the container yard under the white floodlight masts.
06The Directorate end of the yard, looking toward the operations buildings beyond the north wall.
07The west lane pipe rack, looking south under the catwalk. Cover here is continuous but low, so the lane rewards movement over holding an angle.
08Between the northern container stacks. The concrete panels and reinforced corners provide cover in the centre lane, and both sides can reach it in the opening seconds.
09The Nightcell muster point at the southern gate, where a squad forms up before pushing into the yard.
10Beneath the east gantry, looking up the tank row. Holding the deck overhead means giving up the lane below it.

Captured in engine from the current build at 1600×900. Click any frame to view it full size. Ardavan Yard is the geometry the multiplayer server enforces — what you see is what you collide with.

The art pass

Every model in the build, on one sheet.

All 30 production models in the build come from the IRON RAIN pass — original geometry, rigged and exported as glTF. No placeholder cubes, no marketplace kitbash standing in for work that has not been done: what is on the sheet is what loads when you press play.

IRON RAIN · 30 models · 2026-09-2229 redesigned models + the approved C7 rifle, rendered from the exported geometry

Every tile is a render of the exported file, not a concept sketch: the sheet matches apps/game/public/assets/models/ one for one, triangle counts included. Original geometry, generated by tools/art/iron-rain/generate.py. Open it to read the labels.
