Players assume the role of Drifters, individuals who scavenge AO crystals, a rare and valuable resource, from the Earth’s surface.

Their quest brings them face to face with the Enders, xenomorphic creatures threatening their survival.

To navigate this dangerous world, players rely on their partnership with Magus, AI companions who provide guidance, assistance in combat, and crucial warnings.

A key aspect of gameplay is the development of the bond between the player and AI, which strengthens over time.

The core of SYNDUALITY’s gameplay and combat revolves around CRADLECOFFINS, customizable armed vehicles that players can tailor to their preferences, from appearance to weapon load-outs. This customization allows players to adapt their vehicles to suit their unique playstyles.

SYNDUALITY also features online multiplayer elements, allowing players to join forces with other Drifters. They can assist their fellow players in missions or engage in PvP combat to loot resources from rivals.
