The only plot is "fight invasion" thats it :blob-no-thoughts:
The conceit is that your squad has some experimental "predictive" tech module, so as the player you can scrub within each 5s turn timeline to see what enemies will do next while you program in your own actions. Then you click Go and the game advances 5s

Its a bit janky and unbalanced but it might find some fans here
played the Fairlight cracked version found on rarbg for a few hours now without any issues
Hadn't heard of it before but the combat system sounds a lot like Valkyria Chronicles and I like those games so I should check this out
