Story

Prior to the events of INFRA, there was an electric motor factory that operated near the canals, and the canal sluice gates were relativity well maintained. An unknown party received orders to sabotage the factory by opening the sewer dam, and causing industrial waste to backup and cause a foul smell in the canal and sewers, which was noticed by the nearby tenements and media. A year later, Greenwar and the nearby residents began to protest the pollution, and the factory was pressured into shutting down operations, but the smell remained, and protests continued. Some time after the factory's shutdown, more squatters took over a room in the abandoned factory, and began to grow green mushrooms there, even setting up a small lab to research how to preserve mushrooms through winter.

Recently, a group of vigilante hackers holed up in a building at one end of the canals had infiltrated NCG servers. The attack revealed sensitive documents about S.N.W and construction plans for a bunker. This information was so shocking, the hackers' leader became increasingly paranoid, going as far as to install alarms, sensors, and poison systems to defend against intruders to the confusion of his partners.

During the events of INFRA, Mark attempts to pass through the canal system to get to the metro system, but access to the canal is blocked by a trap left in the Hacker's Den. Mark gets past their security systems, a tunnel that experienced a gas explosion, and repairs a forklift to get through the disused factory. Mark finds a metro-access tunnel, but is blocked by another locked door. His attempt to backtrack is interrupted when floor panel collapses, plunging him into the sewer. Mark proceeds to look for an exit.

Locations

Hacker's Den

The Hacker's Den is a small building used by squatting hackers as their base of operations. Their activities were referenced by another squatter in the Stalburg Steel Factory and they seem to support or represent "Interne.ts.", one of Stalburg's political parties. Their building is wired with an alarm system locking many of the doors, with the leader's room being bricked off by one of his partners. The leader's room can be accessed through an obscure route outside the compound, which contains a USB drive that can be collected for corruption evidence.

Pitheath Sludge Canal

This section of the Pitheath Canals controlled a few sluice gates to control the flow of the canal water into runoff ditches and tunnels. It's clogged up with waste and so polluted, dead fish can be seen floating on the surface. Near the end of this section of canals is an inaccessible biker bar, home to the Devil's Angels biker gang. The canal's surrounding buildings are in poor repair, with one of the transformers on the verge of igniting, and an inactive pump letting sewage accumulate in the sewers.

Mushroom Co.

Former electric motor manufacturer building taken over by squatters using it for mushroom growing and research. The factory was originally closed due envinronmental concerns, which Mark learns was intentional sabotage by Hartman, whose henchmen opened sewage sluice near factory letting wastes to pour into drainage canal, thus sparking protests.

Player can access mushroom grower's laboratory by finding a key from opened manhole in the courtyard with green mushrooms growing inside.

Trivia

  • A transformer in a building near the canals will catch fire if Mark photographs it, this can be "repaired" by pulling the fire alarm, or shutting off the generator beforehand.
