Calculator

Ten prisoners condemned to exile on the world XT-59 carve a dangerous path through swamp and murk toward the Islands of Happiness, the sole sanctuary in sight. Time is not on their side as climate shifts and underground horrors threaten at every turn. They must ration dwindling supplies, keep faith, and decide who leads when the terrain tests their trust. The trek forces them to confront not only the planet’s deadly weather but the present risk that betrayal could ruin the group before they reach safety. In a world where every step costs something, the hope of paradise keeps them moving while danger closes. Friendships sharpen, rivals emerge, and a fragile trust could be the line between life and death.
