In Abiotic Factor, you play as a scientist trapped in GATE Cascade Research Facility, dealing with interdimensional breaches.
What the game tells you in pieced together lore is where all the original early experiments breached extra-dimensional energy went. It shot straight into the upper atmosphere. The GATE Foundation, desperate to track the cosmic fallout of their failed first experiments without going public, built a remote, automated listening post in the Swiss Alps.
They sent Dr. Kel as a test subject telling him to start processing signals, what hes actually doing is mapping wandering cosmic radiation (breaches) from GATEs facility's first resonance cascade. and acting as a lure for anything coming through.
