Storyline
The game is set in 1993, after the new ITV franchisee Carlton Television "has arrived", and after the creation of the "Anomaly AI". Descended from this AI are two characters, Sylvia and Jerry whose disembodied voices are heard by the player's character, Rider, throughout the game. Also in the events leading up to the game, the UN has designated some parts of the planet as "United Nations Ungoverned Regions".
