The screen fades in from black. A sweeping drone shot reveals a silent, empty cityscape bathed in eerie twilight. Dramatic, ominous music swells as the Narrator’s voice echoes over the ruins. He sets the scene of a world abandoned, focusing not on the cause of the vanish, but the aftermath. The camera pans over nature reclaiming concrete as he welcomes you to a silent Earth, population zero.
