"The city has a stomach. And it's starting to digest."
Deep beneath the bustling streets, Jimenez leads a veteran sanitation crew into a Victorian sewer system that has been sealed for decades. Their mission is simple: break apart a 'fatberg'—a massive, congealed blockage of grease and urban waste—that is paralyzing the city's infrastructure.
But the blockage isn't just a mountain of filth. It has fermented in the darkness, evolving into a semi-sentient, pulsating bacterial colony with a primal hunger. In the cramped, oxygen-deprived tunnels, the rules of biology are rewritten. The mass doesn't just block the flow; it feeds on it.
When the enzymes begin to melt their protective gear and the tunnels start to scream with the sound of shifting sludge, Jimenez realizes they aren't just cleaning a sewer. They are inside the gullet of a monster born from the city's own excesses. In the dark, wet heart of the underground, there is no escape from the rot.
A visceral, claustrophobic journey into the depths of urban horror. Cloaca will make you afraid of what lies beneath every drain.
