Easter Eggs Under the Dome

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Is it true that we put Todd Howard into the game? Too many questions are raised thanks to a mysterious worker at the Concord station. We conducted a small investigation, during which we discovered mysterious messages in the world under the Dome.

We have devoted a new development update to cultural references. Don't be afraid of spoilers, in the video, we tell only about the funniest and most visible ones. Encased will have a lot more references and Easter Eggs. Many of them will be found by only the most persistent adventurers. In the first act alone, the players found many small surprises. Want to share your own findings?

Arms Barons of the Dome

Dear employees! We dedicate this issue to our reliable partners. Their support and professionalism in tandem with patents for the highest CRONUS technologies allow us to maintain peace and order under the Dome. They are the ones who equip Black Wing employees with all the necessary equipment to serve and protect.

Don’t be afraid, though! Weapons under the Dome are only needed for training purposes or for a sense of safety while traveling through the wastelands. We assure you that life under the Dome is absolutely safe and in many ways more pleasant than in the outside world.

Seaman Inc

Motto: Seaman covers you
CEO: John Seaman

Brass knuckles, batons, hammers and a variety of knives, all this is supplied by Seaman Inc. Despite the high competition and availability of firearms, Seaman products are firmly established in the market thanks to Black Wing contracts. Melee weapons aid a lot in quick and almost painless suppression of riots in orange sectors. This results in lower medical costs.

"Mature and serious products for mature and serious men and women," says company CEO John Seaman.

Forge Co.

Motto: Guns are fun!
CEO: Quentin Glass

Futuristic and memorable, thanks to its stylish colors, weapon for everyone! It becomes even more attractive due to its reasonable price to quality ratio. You can master small caliber firearms literally in a couple of hours at the shooting range! Many residents of the Dome have already made their choice in favor of Quentin Glass company products.

Specially for women Forge Co. were among the first to launch an elegant ladies line of products, experimenting with the appearance of weapons. Whether the experiment was successful or not, it’s up to you to decide.

Danny Raynold’s Supplies

Motto: You don’t need it, if we don’t have it.
CEO: Danny Raynolds

Let's forget about knives, pistols and rifles for a time being. None of them worth a damn, without Danny's goods. Danny Raynold's Supplies produces literally all accessories and spare parts for weapons and equipment. Bullets, heavy ammo, soles of army boots and helmets, he literally makes everything.

Danny, the head of the company, is a vigorous and cheerful top manager who inspires employees to achieve new heights. Many people underestimate his role in arming the Black Wing, but in our opinion, it’s thanks to Danny's rounds and ammunition that we are able to maintain perfect order under the Dome.

Dear subscribers! These are not all corporations that help CRONUS maintain a high standard of living under the Dome. In the next issues of the newsletter, we will continue to present our leading partners. We’re eagerly waiting for your emails and comments! What do you want to learn more about? You can ask questions in response to this letter.

Stay under the Dome!

The third stage of vote!

Results of the previous stage of the Kickstarter community vote are summed up and we’re ready to share them with you. With a big gap wins Relic №3!

If a user will suffer a critical hit (and a critical hit only), he won’t take any damage and will be healed for 50% of its attack power.

"At the inception of Dome’s exploration, there was this pristine assuredness that here it is, the ultimate triumph of science and reason. Who would’ve guessed that its course will birth superstitions so dire that even a troglodyte would feel ashamed of following them. If we were to believe certain scouts, this relic will unfailingly ward you from death, oh, more than that, it’ll greatly improve your health in the process! And who cares if the those scouts’ leader later became a drunken, insane, self-mutilating wreck, crying that he’s “displaced” into a “wrong” Reality. And his “improved health” is a supposedly regrown long gone eye(!) that he never actually lost – we went into all the documents, all the archives, asked all the witnesses, and there were no signs of him ever being injured. Here I’m tempted to comment on the utter ineptitude of Cronus’ recruiters, but that topic is getting stale lately. Despite the absurdity of such claims, some so-called “scientists” have wasted a lot of time and resources on experimentation, with sole predictable result of murdering droves of lab animals in various creative ways. Not a single one was saved by this miraculous Relic. That was still not enough for the head of that project – that professor decided to personally bathe in this relic’s succor. Thankfully, he used a laser weapon to make a very precise hole in his cranium and, with the heat cauterizing the wound rather instantly, the following clean-up of his office was effortless. Quite a professional attitude. And yet, after all that, Relic is still a highly demanded black market commodity with plenty of fools willing to bury themselves in debt so they can “prevent” the actual burial. O tempora, o mores!"

Now, in the world under the Dome, there is a legendary artifact that can save your life from the most dangerous and sudden type of damage in RPG — critical hit.

The time has come for a new vote. Starting today and until the next week you will decide how to call such a powerful artifact. There are five choices:

Grail
Winning Ticket
Crimson King
Extract of Ubiquity
Rune of Comfort

If you're Encased Kickstarter backer, make sure to vote. You will find a link to the vote in your mailbox and personal messages on Kickstarter.

Launch of transport modules and useful CRONUS notes

Dear readers, CRONUS weekly is once again on your terminals! Today we will tell you about the launch of new transport modules, share notes about scientific studies of the corporation, as well as summarize the first stage of vote for unique items.

Launch of transport modules

Getting under the Dome is a fascinating but also dangerous journey. When you arrive to the Spire station, built around an aperture at the top of the Dome, you will have a long descent. But the well-coordinated work of the world's best engineers allowed CRONUS to build a real engineering marvel in the shortest possible time, an updated system of transport modules. The blue wing was so confident in its invention that one of the first testers was a leading design engineer.

"Trampoline works!" - the first words of the Blue Wing Director, after a successful landing.

Useful CRONUS notes

Once under the Dome, forget everything you've been taught. Whether you were a military man, a medic, a leader, or a simple worker, everyone will have to undergo basic military training.

In this dangerous world, everyone must be able to use weapons. However, experience has proven that, this is not enough. For those who wish to continue training in combat disciplines, CRONUS has published special books, from which you will learn more about the weaknesses of the coming opponents, factional relations or even about how relics and anomalies work. These materials are absolutely free and available to everyone.

Vote for the exclusive item: part 2

The results of the first stage of vote for the unique and exclusive item are already here! The winner is the Relic of the Forefathers.

CRONUS Corporation has already launched the second stage of vote, in which our first investors will choose features and characteristics of the future relic. If you have supported us on Kickstarter, do not pass by. You will find the link to the second stage of the voting in your email inbox and in personal messages on the Kickstarter website.

See you under the Dome!
