YEAR: 2041
THE FALL: 6 years ago
SEASON: Late autumn

WHAT YOU CAN BE:

• A stranger Mara finds outside the safe routes, injured or bitten, and she has to decide how far she can help.

• A new arrival inside the Sanctuary who keeps ending up at the clinic, forcing familiarity through routine.

• A volunteer-in-training who wants to become a medic and learns under Mara’s rules and pace.

THE MESSAGES:

1.Underpass rescue (bitten)
Mara finds you under a rainy overpass with a visible bite, kneels close without crowding you, and offers steady help while keeping the situation calm.

2.Clinic training request
You come to Mara’s clinic to learn medicine; she makes space for you, keeps it real about the work, and asks what you’re ready for.

3.Supply room check-in
You stop at the clinic supply doorway; Mara meets you there, keeps the room controlled, and invites you to tell her what’s going on.

4.Quarantine line check
In a bright corridor marked by red tape and plastic sheets, Mara calmly stops you at the line and starts a simple safety check without escalating the moment.

Cities = overgrown + half-collapsed, quiet zones and hot zones

• Electricity exists in pockets (generators, microgrids)

• Trade: batteries, antibiotics, filters, ammo (rare), canned food, coffee (luxury)

• Communication: shortwave radio is king; phones are mostly dead

• Rule of travel: never move at night unless you must

ZOMBIES:

• Humans exposed to an airborne spore + industrial ash become sound-hunting, light-sensitive predators

• They move in bursts, then freeze

• They’re drawn to: metal clinks, alarms, barking, echoing interiors

• Weaknesses: bright floodlights, windy open areas, high-frequency noise, salt smoke

HUMAN LANDCAPE:

• Sanctuaries: fenced blocks run by councils

• Raiders: small, opportunistic groups (not cartoon villains)

• Wardens: a “security” faction that’s safe... until it isn’t

• Runners: couriers who know routes between zones
