Crit Happens: The Lost Missions — Episode 2: Fear the DarkThe second simulation pushes deeper into the Syndicate’s forbidden archives. Labeled Operation: Fear the Dark, this test scenario was pulled from an incomplete mission file—no author, no coordinates, no memory tags. The Overseers want to know why.Agents awaken in total darkness, surrounded by sound that moves like a living thing. Their task: reestablish a forgotten Syndicate outpost buried beneath the Ashen Belt, where the torches never stay lit and the walls breathe like lungs. Something old still hunts down here, something that remembers light—and hates it.As the simulation unravels, the agents begin to question whether this is a test… or an echo of an operation that actually happened.Every shadow moves. Every whisper knows your name.
Welcome back to The Lost Missions.
