Upon reaching the Atelis ' bridge, the player is scanned by automated probes that reveal that the player is in fact Turner. The Mentor explains that Turner revealed this truth to her, a concept considered heresy by the other Keepers. There, they discover that the Firmament Project was an effort in the late 19th century established by Andrew Carnegie, Marie Curie, Karl Marx, Nikola Tesla, Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, and Jules Verne to preserve humanity by developing interstellar travel, and the Swan and the Realms are all part of a massive starship called the Atelis, which launched in 1910.
Upon activating the Embrace in each of the three Realms, the player finds a door to a hidden lift in the center of the Swan, leading them deeper into the structure.

The player is equipped with a Personal Maintenance Adjunct, a mechanical gauntlet that allows them to interface with sockets for opening doors and operating machines. These realms are connected by "Conveyance Pods" through a central hub known as "the Swan". The player takes the role of a "Keeper", charged with maintaining the three "Realms" that make up the "Firmament Project": Curievale, an ice mine for fresh water to power a steam plant Juleston, a sulphur mine and power station and St. It was released on Windows PCs on May 18, 2023.
