Plot
The Chicxulub Crater was formed 66 million years ago by an asteroid strike that resulted in a mass extinction that wiped out the dinosaurs. A team of “prisoners” are forced to go down into an underground complex built on the asteroid site to scavenge and carry out tasks for a mysterious entity known as The Warden. [7]
Gameplay
GTFO players form a team of four scavengers who are forced to explore the vast underground complex in order to complete the Warden's objectives. Complicating the process is the presence of hideous sleeping monsters, who have overrun the whole area. The players must strategize, plan, ration resources and stealthily kill enemies to survive, and work to fulfill the Warden's demands and be allowed to escape.[8][9]
