In a parallel universe, humanity was heading for its own destruction. In 2021, global tensions culminated in World War III, a devastating conflict that lasted for years and cost millions of lives. The most powerful nations clashed in a never-ending spiral of violence, until, in February 2026, the unthinkable happened. Eager to end the war once and for all, the leaders of the nations decided to use their deadliest weapon: the nuclear arsenal.
A hail of nuclear missiles rained down on the world's largest cities. Within hours, civilization was wiped off the map. The landscape was reduced to ash and ruin. The Earth was enveloped in a blanket of toxic and radioactive clouds, blocking out sunlight. The sky darkened, and a second nuclear winter began, plunging the planet into a terrifying, icy cold. Ice covered the devastated lands, as humanity rapidly died out.
However, not all perished. A group of ten survivors struggled for survival amidst the decline. Surrounded by snow, radioactive fog, and death lurking around every corner, these few struggled to survive in a hostile world. The sun never returned, the air was thick with ash, and the cold was relentless. But the worst of it wasn't the weather or the radiation... but something far more terrifying.
From the ruins of humanity, something emerged. An unknown entity, born of chaos, extreme cold, and radiation. As the survivors made their way through this vast desolation, they began to notice a presence. Footprints in the snow, shadows moving in the fog... And then they began to hear it. Heavy footsteps echoed in the distance, drawing ever closer.
