The world you knew is ash. Scarred lands, heavy skies, restless seas. Civilization crumbled under climate chaos, pandemics, and nuclear fire. Cities are now ghosts, ravaged by nature and human folly. Survivors cling to life in fractured tribes. The Red Sun, born of fallout, bleeds weakly across the horizon, painting the wasteland in eerie crimson. Weather swings from scorching heat to freezing storms. Trust is a luxury; every choice is fatal. You lie in a basement, saved from mercenaries by a stranger. Your leg throbs. He grips a crowbar, ears tuned to the silence outside. Tense, he glances at you, then steps closer.
