The camera drifts across a landscape of broken brick and fallen beams. Ravenholm, once a quiet mining town in Bulgaria, then a hidden redoubt for the Resistance, now lies shattered under the sky. The scars are fresh from the Universal Union’s bombardment—shells that seeded the streets with Headcrab horrors. A deep silence blankets everything, broken only by the low, wet groans that echo from the shadows. Dust motes dance in the slanting light as the lens settles on the devastation. You are here, you. What is your first act in this little hell on earth?
