A creature which snakes its way through polluted swamp waters, surviving off the algae that it can scrape from the ground.
This animal uses its electrified horns to hunt its prey, and to activate some of the city's still-functioning machinery.
The source of the city's power supply, this room began as a temple, before becoming housing for vast electrical generators.

SUBSTRATE is an art book for a hypothetical video game set in an abandoned city, overgrown and reclaimed by wilderness. The traveller who explores the city's tangled streets will find places with stories to tell: decaying rooms that remain shaped by their past, creatures whose strange biology speaks to the twisting, and sometimes tragic, history of the world that they’re adapted for. Turn the page, and step into the world of Substrate.
