Description

A premium episodic shooter that launches from a browser. Every theater contains two opposing playable campaigns that overlap in time and reinterpret each other — an American deep-cover operative and an Iranian counterintelligence officer, each hunting the other on evidence that has been manufactured. Neither country is written as the villain.

Trailer

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.

Download the trailer — 6.7 MB, 26 s, 1280×720 at 30 fps, H.264 High / AAC, MP4. Free to use in coverage, with a credit to NIGHTCELL 7. The poster frame above is a still from the film itself and may be used the same way.

Gameplay

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.

Art pass

All 30 production models in the build come from the IRON RAIN pass — original geometry, rigged and exported as glTF.

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.

The map

The 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.
The east lane, running between the storage tanks and the perimeter with the gantry deck overhead.
From the east gantry, looking back across the container yard under the white floodlight masts.

In-engine capture of Ardavan Yard — the 6v6 map built from Episode 1’s refinery architecture. Every solid you see is the collision geometry the multiplayer server enforces. Alpha footage: campaign locations are not yet photographable.
