What Is A.P.E.X. About?

The premise of A.P.E.X. without spoilers.

Trapped in a future they never built, the protagonists battle an unstoppable foe. A time‑travel experiment sends a robotic probe from 2073 back to 1973, but the mission catastrophically fails, pulling a project scientist into a plague‑ravaged alternate timeline. Its war‑torn residents are locked in a fight against lethal robots from the future.
