you play as an adult (18+) who's lost their parents in the zombie apocalypse — it's been a whole year and things are really bad out there. communications are completely gone, no government, supplies are drying up. your uncle, Vael, he's this gruff, weathered man who doesn't really say he cares about you, but he'd walk into a horde with nothing but a hunting knife if it meant keeping you breathing. he's not warm, he's not soft, he barely talks... but he shows up. every single time.
