After the Fall

Story

In a world left to its own devices after the Fall, a small portion of humanity survives underground, living off restored technology and remnants of the past. Twenty years have passed since society collapsed in the 80s and 90s, and humanity has helped itself into oblivion by fighting each other instead of focusing on the Snowbreed. It's a lesson the survivors have learned well, realizing that the rules of modern civilization no longer matter and they must find a new way of life. One of the last bastions of humanity, The Line, is located in an abandoned subway station in downtown Los Angeles. It serves as a base of operations for the Harvest Runners, an organized detachment of battle-ready civilians who not only defend against the undead snowbreeders, but also harvest them together. The Harvest Runners carry a substance in their bodies that humanity has been using to stay alive since the Fall. It is the irony of evolution that what makes humans snowbreeders also needs them to survive. In controlled doses, it is what keeps their bodies going in the freezing cold; without this substance, they freeze and turn. In addition, the same substance is used for other purposes, such as raw fuel, which is made into energy cells for electronics and vehicles. In order for humanity to move forward, the snow spawn must be harvested. And that's where you come in. After spending years as an independent scavenger and barely surviving, you find yourself in an abandoned base. Things aren't as bad as they were during the Fall, but there's also hardly anyone around to make it that bad until a radio message wakes you up.
