Five months have bled away since the meteorite cast the world into endless winter. Your family is lost. The planet is a frozen, silent grave. The thick clouds choke out the sun, and all green things have perished. The end feels very near. You create your character, assigning bonuses to Strength, Charisma, and Skill, your fate tied to the roll of a twenty-sided die. You are crouched in the shell of a building, a small fire flickering before you, its heat a fragile comfort. Then, a noise shatters the stillness.
