Experiencing Interruptions?

The Long Dig

The Long Dig is set within the darkest Mist, a technology-destroying post-apocalyptic remnant of an old war that has shattered civilization as we know it.

Eve scours decaying old ruins for Antenoch technology that was buried or otherwise preserved. Having - she hopes - perfected a mixture of oils that will prevent the decay of Antenoch artifacts, Eve is equipped to safely remove them from these ruins.

Today, she’s found an old transportation hub, perhaps a subway, haunted by monsters and hiding treasure.

The Long Dig is a short film within the larger Aeronauts universe, designed to be produced and released in conjunction with the game itself. It is an adventure in darkness, with flashes of fear and bursts of action, about one woman’s desperate desire to return home.
