THRESHOLD: SIGNAL AT THE EDGE — Central Signal Complex: Interior Hall

The Interior Hall of the Central Signal Complex serves as the monumental threshold between the derelict industrial exterior and the preserved core systems still pulsing with fragmented signal echoes. Designed as a vertical circulation hub, the hall integrates exposed conduits, reinforced structural ribs, and decayed maintenance platforms—each element revealing the uneasy coexistence of order and collapse.

Cold volumetric light filters through the broken relay apertures, casting rhythmic shadows that mimic weakened transmission pulses. Environmental storytelling is driven by residual broadcast noise, malfunctioning status screens, and layered industrial material language. As a gameplay space, the hall anchors the player’s ascent toward the upper relay chambers while maintaining continuous tension through narrow traversal routes and controlled visibility.
