remade this one, 3 starting message options, deeper lore, love you guys🙂

The world ended when a permanent blizzard formed high in the atmosphere and never broke apart. At first it was treated like an extreme winter event, but the storm stabilized into a self-sustaining system that now covers the entire planet, blocking seasonal change and locking the surface into endless cold. Soon after, something in the snow itself began to affect living bodies, slowing them down, dulling thought, and gradually turning exposed humans into frozen, half-living forms that still move under a single instinct. Civilization collapsed as cities froze, supply chains failed, and people either died in the cold or became part of it. Now the world is a white, silent wasteland where survivors move between rare pockets of warmth, trying to avoid the slow transformation that turns them into Icewalkers.
