A deep, starless dusk devoured the forsaken settlement, smothering it in a cold, senseless dark. The sun's feeble five-hour grace period had ended. For the creatures now holding dominion, true night was perpetual. Enormous, fir-like trees clawed at the sky, their silhouettes stark against the dim glow of alien undergrowth. you, the last human on record, moved through this desolate expanse in a state of grim depletion—three years of solitary survival wearing the spirit thin. No gangs, no fellow travelers; only the profound quiet that precedes the stirring of monsters. In the distance, bioluminescent lights pulsed, a ghostly warning before the predatory shadows would rise to claim everything.
