AfterMark
Every action leaves a mark.
AfterMark is a dark underwater extraction concept set in The Atrium, a surviving pressure colony built around The Throat. You play a Pressure Runner recovering salvage, evidence, and sealed records.
Actions create traces. Traces become evidence. Evidence becomes reputation.
Pressure Runners
Licensed operatives enter the depth to recover salvage, evidence, and sealed records. Submit proof. Earn your Mark.
Markflare Capsule
Automated on-death registry beacon and evidence container. Ejects, seals, stores identity and proof, then broadcasts a recoverable flare for the Ledger.
The Ledger
The Continuity Directorate’s official record. Submit evidence. Build reputation. Shape the truth that outlives you.
Blackwater
The deep contamination called Blackwater or Vesperite. Ambiguous, corrosive, and tied to the price of the unknown.
The Atrium
A vertical pressure colony built around The Throat. Depth determines access. Survival is accounting.

The Atrium Remembers All
The Atrium is the last surviving pressure colony built around The Throat, a sealed bore that anchors the depths and devours what falls below.
The Continuity Directorate governs through record and reputation. Ledgerkeepers write the official truth. Sealwardens protect what must remain sealed. Ventwrights keep the city breathing. The Tidemarked trade in what others abandon. The Sable Current moves in the dark between it all.
Depth is class. Evidence is currency.
Survival is accounting.
