The Sewers

Rusted pipes, drainage tunnels and flooded chambers beneath a city that has gone quiet. Toxic sludge pools in the low ground and broken machinery blocks the obvious routes, but there is enough floating debris to cross a chamber if you read it right. This is where you learn to move, and where the game teaches you without ever stopping to explain.
