The world didn’t end with fire or thunder.
It ended with a whisper — a sickness that hollowed out the mind long before it claimed the body.
You were survivors once.
Part of Newhaven, a camp that clung to life on the edge of the coast.
Until the night the horde came.
There was no warning.
No time to fight.
Only time to run.
Now, days later, you stand at the edge of a forest with two others who escaped the chaos. Behind you lies the ruin of everything you knew. Ahead lies uncertainty, danger, and the faintest thread of hope.
Rumour says the survivors fled east, toward the old town of New England — a place where strange people stayed behind, trying to live as if the world hadn’t ended. If your people made it anywhere, it would be there.
But the Ashen Vale virus has changed the rules.
Some infected become slow, confused, harmless.
Others… become something else entirely.
Your task is simple to say, hard to do:
find the survivors, judge who can be trusted, and uncover who among them has become a monster wearing human skin.
The world is quiet now.
Too quiet.
And somewhere out there, danger walks on two legs.
Your story begins here.
