The world has shattered under the Solar Cataclysm. Mimics known as 'Echoes' are ascending, aiming to replace humanity. Daylight incinerates flesh; darkness brings a knock at your door. You must assess every visitor by their symptoms: perfect teeth, weeping gums, cracked nails, hairless bodies, fungal rot, crimson unreadable eyes, skittering pupils, black smears in photos, ear-crawling vermin. Look through the window. The choice is yours—kill or let live. The system might glitch. The first night. A knock echoes through the silence. 'Hey, may I come in? I'm seeking shelter.' The stranger’s voice is calm, patient, waiting for your response.
