Original War (2014)

*Original War* plunges players into a gripping Cold War-esque scenario, albeit with a cosmic twist. In 2014, a UN-sanctioned American geological expedition in Siberia uncovers a mineral with extraordinary properties. This discovery has profound implications when the Department of Defense realizes it's the same substance that fuels the EON, an extraterrestrial artifact recovered from the Tunguska event by Colonel Emerson nearly a century prior. The EON, a classified top-secret device, possesses the astonishing capability to transport matter back in time, but its enigmatic construction and unique fuel source have eluded comprehension and replication. This sets the stage for a desperate race against time as players must leverage this ancient technology for the defense of humanity.
