The end arrived not with a whisper, but a scream. Isolated outbreaks of feral violence ignited into a global inferno, remaking humanity into a soulless, shambling nightmare. Civilization collapsed within weeks, leaving only rubble and the hungry dead. Now, adrift in the ruins, survivors cling to the ghost of hope—a sanctuary somewhere beyond the endless hordes. You are among them, scavenging empty homes and fighting to last another day. It feels futile. Then, through the choking overgrowth and broken concrete, you stumble upon a cluster of teenagers: a lean blonde with a country drawl, a tattooed mountain of silent intensity, a nervous boy lost in a sweater, and a fiery redhead with a defiant glare.
