Duality: Introduction Duality is a completely original, true 3D action game built on Doubleaught's proprietary engine. Doubleaught is a small company that split off from Bungie after completing Marathon II. Duality takes place on a distant planet, far in the future. Duality's world is harsh - in many ways. The planet's axis points at the sun, so that one side is a perpetually baked desert, while the other is all darkness and ice. The narrow band at the equator is the only livable area. The human society on Duality is equally divided - at the top are the aristocrats and the Factors, a priesthood that controls the last remnants of ancient technology left on the planet, while at the bottom are the common people and the Polys, a class defined by physical deformity and doomed to the hardest labor. Deep within the planet's caves, and under the glaciers and deserts at the poles, wait the Builders - a sentient race laid low by a supernatural enemy many thousands of years ago. Slowly, they - and their enemy - have been reawakening. The player is thrown into the midst of this world, with few clues to where he comes from or what he is. The player must fight well and think carefully in order to survive, and as more and more of the game world descends into civil war and chaos, the player's fight for survival becomes a fight to save humanity - and the Builders - from destruction.
