About This Game

You’re not a hero. 

You’re just someone who woke up in a cold, broken world: with no memory, no future, and maybe no hope.

Will you figure out who you were?
Will you survive long enough to matter?

Navigate a post-apocalyptic town filled with factions, decay, and uncomfortable choices. Hunt rats, sell their meat, go mad from hunger, or maybe-somehow start a business.
Violence is risky. Even rats can kill you.
Money talks. Water is a privilege. And death? Always an option.

Who are you, and do you even care about the answer?
