(Note: This is an alternate universe. That is quite obvious.)
The year is 2027. War between the US and Russia has been going on for 4 years. Well, the more appropriate term is
had.As the US was preparing a fierce assault on Moscow, a strange device being developed by the US Military went off and caused a powerful blast of unknown energy in the midwest. Over 89% of American cities and towns have been decimated all across the country. Only 2,129 cities/towns remain. Out of the survivors, most were prepared and have been living in bunkers for 4 years of their lives. The other survivors have been only living through dumb luck, it seems.
You 5 are not the prepared. You are the guys living off of dumb luck.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our story will follow 5 survivors as they make their way through the remains of a broken city in the Midwest. You must find food, get clean water, fight, and make shelter. Sounds simple? Well... each survivor has a trait that has an often negative effect that may make survival hard. For example, we could have a survivor have an addiction to drugs. That survivor will have to add making/stealing/obtaining drugs to his list of stuff he has to do to survive.
Other examples of traits:
Vegetarian: Cannot eat meat because of moral reasons.
Lactose Intolerant: Cannot eat dairy products.
Dim: Not very bright...
Perverted: Yeah...
And etc!
