Red Eden

Humanity's first colony on Mars was meant to be a beginning; a symbol of hope, innovation, and the triumph of survival over the void. But when a signal arrives from beyond the edge of the solar system; mathematically perfect, impossibly ancient, and utterly inhuman; hope turns to dread.  As the message unfolds, it reveals not an invitation, but a design. Beneath the Martian crust, a buried intelligence awakens, rewriting the rock, altering thought, and observing the colonists with unsettling precision.
What begins as an investigation into seismic anomalies soon spirals into a descent through alien recursion, where science becomes horror and consciousness itself is no longer safe. Engineer Knox, scientist Sofia, and neural linguist Iris must confront the unthinkable: that the colony was never the beginning. It was the test. The real harvest is still to come. Now, with Earth in the lattice's sights, survival will mean more than escape; it will require understanding the enemy's logic, surviving its terror, and rewriting what it means to be human. Terrifying.
Technical. Unrelenting. Red Eden is a chilling odyssey into alien intelligence, recursion horror, and the fragile science of identity.
