Synopsis

Welcome to Alexandria, an ancient and abandoned city, destroyed and rebuilt a thousand times over after millennia of war. In its current state, the streets are flooded with rank, cold water that submerges the secrets of its demise. In this metropolis, you navigate by gondola rather than by car. Why is it flooded? How long has it been this way? That’s just one of many secrets that Alexandria keeps to itself.

From these murky waters, fifteen year old Blink, rises to the surface, not knowing where he came from or even his own name. This world of limbo is new to him. His rescuer, a giant of a man named Boris, scoops the boy up into his gondola which he pilots back to a safe place, a grand hotel with a theater, clean rooms and an opera stage modified to house an aerial gym.

Boris trains Blink to navigate the city by rooftop. When a mysterious plane crashes into the city, Boris’ shamanic friend Olga calls on Boris and Blink to rescue any passengers on board the plane. Miraculously they’re all alive but in a semi-conscious state. After bringing the passengers back to the theater, Olga teaches Blink how to safely lead the passengers out of Alexandria to a safe zone by means of divining hidden portals throughout the city.

As Blink learns the ways of divining, he wonders to himself, “why can’t I leave this city too?” Frustrated with Boris and Olga and the grim atmosphere of the apocalyptic city, Blink looks for a way out. On his quest to escape, he encounters autonomous artillery and mechanized beasts trying to destroy him. But the key to finding the doorway out of Alexandria may be in the hands of a new friend that Blink meets: a ten foot tall mechanized soldier with wings.
