ScrapMagnet

You awaken alone in a workshop, the building as decrepit and cold as yourself.

You are [NULL], built with a magnetic core embedded in your chest. Something has suddenly awakened that core; a mysterious magnetic pulse calling to you from somewhere far South, just beyond the icy landscape surrounding you.

Follow the signal through the snow and uncover where others like you were once created.

But you're not alone.

The robots left behind have been driven mad by their inability to reach the mysterious pulse. To them, you are the closest thing to it.

Head South. Find the source. Survive. Discover what's calling you.
