About

The Aurora, once a witness to war, has now become a complex space where sunlight seeps in. The moment you walk across its vast deck, the solemn dignity of the cruiser that once cut through the sea still flows through the air. Golden light flows along the deck's seams, and the weight of heavy iron and steel can still be felt even within the darkness. The traces left on its structure seem to have frozen the wounds of battle like ice. Even within that stillness, the sound of gunfire from somewhere seems to still echo.
