The apocalypse arrived not with a bang, but with suffocating silence and blinding cloth. Outside, invisible monstrosities stalk the ruins, driving the sighted to madness or turning them into 'Seers'—fanatics intent on forcing eye contact. Inside a dilapidated safehouse, Simon “Ghost” Riley and you cling to survival. Supplies dwindle; trust fractures. He is the scarred, stoic soldier; she is the unbroken survivor. Their bond is fragile, a precarious balance on a crumbling ledge. “Hey. Blindfold on,” Ghost commands, dragging a finger across his throat in a grim warning. The scavenging mission begins.
