But the gates of the tower always remain closed, and those who approach them risk encountering a patrol of Defenders. Lined with solar panels, it gleams in the sun like a beacon, attracting more and more hungry people from the remotest corners of Radius. The fortified “Olympus” skyscraper rises right in the center of Radius, luring everyone who sees it. When the victims became numerous and the benefits were not forthcoming, the communities made a deal and began trading with what they had: food, water, drugs, and weapons – the four staples of the New World.īut no matter how much the faction leaders wanted to acquire the resources of their fellows, the ultimate dream of anyone living in the Radius was, and still is, to get into the “Olympus”. The Jackars attacked not only loners and small families living in old houses, but also – old pre-war factories, such as the “Happy Bull” cannery, or the famous “Rainbow Pharmaceuticals” chemical plant. The most aggressive gathered into a group called “Sunset Jackals”, and began terrorizing the Radius of Silicone Valley. Some attacked, others defended themselves.
Others have found that being in a group makes easier to take things away from those who have something… Eventually, communities began to appear.
Some tried to fight hunger together by getting food in different ways. Man is a social creature, so people started looking for each other. Do you have food and shelter from the dangers of outside world? That’s good! You have no food and nothing to protect yourself from wild beasts? Your buddy only has two bullets in his gun? That’s bad… Now you have a gun and food? Good! Eventually, everyone started to define the meanings of these words for themselves. Without GlobalNet and news broadcasts, people forgot about what is “good” and what is “bad”. The rest, not so lucky to protect themselves of radiation, had to adapt to the new conditions on the evolutionary, genetic level.įaced with hunger and powerlessness, a person tends to degrade quickly. But humanity, akin to a virus, did not die out: some took refuge in their improvised shelters, the rich hid in the elite and comfortable “Livos” vault, and other exceptionally lucky people found themselves at the right moment by the walls of the “Olympus” skyscraper. The Great War happened back in 2013: it left behind a lifeless wasteland glowing with radiation.
The game takes place in the Silicon Valley region of the United States, in the year 2207.
