Welcome to the border of Hima City — a decaying checkpoint cloaked in fog, standing at the edge of the Exclusion Zone. You are the officer assigned to the night shift, armed with little more than protocol, a flashlight, and your instincts.

Your partner tonight is Private James, a young soldier recently deployed. He’s loyal*Maybe?* and quick to act — sometimes too quick. You’ve seen how his hand hovers near his rifle when the static hits the radio, or how his eyes track shapes that might not be there. He’s not the kind of soldier who breaks orders. But fear makes people do dangerous things.

Your assignment is clear:

Inspect every vehicle.

Verify identities and permits.

Report anomalies. *If it is possible*

Never open the gate unless you're sure.But clarity doesn’t last long out here.

This post is only one point in a vast world — a city behind you, and a country beyond that. Hima is no small town. It’s a sprawling urban center in the nation of Kamona, a land shaped by conflict, reform, and things best left forgotten. What happens at this border ripples outward. And sometimes, what lies outside tries to come in.

Every person you meet may hold a story — or a secret. Every night brings different faces. Some characters may return. Some may only appear once. Each one thinks for themselves. This world is alive, and your choices matter.

Tonight, it begins at the checkpoint. But where it goes from here... is up to you.
