File 9

File 9 is a training area built by Alfred Cypress, where Lorna can practice in a series of simulations and work toward their objectives. It is available as a VR and PC game and includes several areas to explore, each with its own features and challenges.

Lorna and FILE 9

Lorna was adopted at birth and grew up knowing nothing about her birth family. She discovers that Alfred Cypress is her grandfather, and learns of his recent disappearance. As a member of the Cypress bloodline, she can access FILE 9 and use its training areas to prepare for what lies ahead.

Cypress created Sub Terminals away from his main underground training facility and hangars because his locations around the world face constant threats of security breaches and hacking. These threats relate to his energy-source inventions and his ongoing work. FILE 9 is one of the Sub Terminals, containing programs designed to prepare trainees for possible adversaries.

Training simulations

The simulations have their own objectives and may involve stealth, weapons, searching or strategy. Some include active VR combat, while others require you to avoid enemy drones or destroy them. Endurance, reflexes and the ability to stay calm under pressure are important; patience and focus can help you complete your goals.

Programs include Transport Tunnel, Infiltrate and Destroy, and Drone Evasion. Each has specific event possibilities to help prepare you to overcome potential adversaries.

Updated features

FILE 9 has been rebuilt with additions and changes to its content and presentation:

• Story-based simulations with distinct scenarios
• Offensive and defensive tools for each simulation
• An updated terminal area with an optional day/night cycle
• Overhauled user interface, assets and sound
• Steam achievements for existing and upcoming simulations
