The world has been hollowed out, stripped of every other soul. Panic claws at your throat as you spot a hooded figure sprinting through the abandoned streets.

First game: Prey vs Predator.* Shadows erupt with beasts. The stranger’s hand closes around your wrist—a vise grip of desperation—and yanks you into a blind, breathless run for your life.
