# Machine Tomorrow

Two enemies. One portal. A future they were never meant to see.

## The Story

A Dark Knight and a Necromancer locked blades on a forgotten battlefield — neither willing to yield, neither expecting what came next. A tear in reality opened beneath them, swallowing both into a world neither understood.

They woke inside a derelict factory. Steel walls. Acid rain. Machines that should not move, moving anyway. Above them, glowing letters carved themselves into the air:

> **SURVIVE 20 MINUTES WITH WHAT YOU BROUGHT.**

The blade. The grimoire. The bond with the creatures of their world. Nothing else carries through.

## The Game

A monster-tamer × bullet-hell survival arena. You don't fight the robots directly — your **tamed monsters** do. They orbit you, deploy on the ground, and tear through the factory's defenses while you stay alive long enough to outlast the reactor's death cycle.

### Tame. Deploy. Evolve.

- **48 monsters** across 8 elements — Fire, Ice, Electric, Poison, Earth, Air, Dark, Light

- **Dual slot system** — 4 orbiting companions + 4 deployed defenders, all attacking simultaneously

- **Evolution mechanic** — pair an orbit + deploy of the same element, reach Lv.5, gather 25 evolution shards from the reactor's hazard zone

- **Choose your champion** — fight as the **Dark Knight** (melee specialist) or the **Necromancer** (ranged caster)

### The Robots

Drones. Brutes. Elites. And four bosses tied to the factory's collapse cycle. They hunt the reactor — and you. The deeper into the 20 minutes you go, the more the factory throws at you.

### The Hazard Zone

The reactor leaks radiation. Standing inside hurts you and your deployed monsters — but it's where the evolution shards spawn. Risk for reward, every wave.

## Controls

| | |

|---|---|

| **WASD** | Move |

| **SPACE** | Dash |

| **1-4** | Deploy / recall monster from slot |

| **E** | Evolve (when conditions met) |

| **M** | Sector map |

| **ESC** | Pause |

## Tips

- The robots don't care about each other — but they all want the reactor. Lead them into chokepoints.

- Evolution doubles a monster's stats. Hunt shards aggressively in the first 5 minutes.

- Boss spawns at 5, 10, 15, 20 minutes. Each one drops 10 shards — clear the trash before the boss arrives.
