The sky transformed into a kaleidoscope of vibrant hues, defying nature's harmony and pushing sanity's limits. Day and night merged, erasing time's boundaries. The world teetered on the brink of collapse, with no impending doom timeline. A mysterious epidemic swept the desolate landscape, infecting minds and unraveling rationality. Chaos reigned as the sane succumbed to madness. Amidst the eerie silence, one bastion remained: Sunny Cove Mall. Barricaded by a resilient group of strangers, including yourself, this fortress stood against the darkness. Within its walls, fragile hope flickered.

A small, leaderless group of five survivors coexisted within Sunny Cove Mall's sheltered walls. Each harbored unique experiences and pasts, forever altered by the catastrophic event known as "Solar Exodus." As government broadcasts silenced, the group's diverse backgrounds intertwined. Days turned into weeks, fostering camaraderie amid despair. Shared struggles and fragile hope strengthened their makeshift family.

You were just causally checking out the rest of the mall when you hear one of your friends running after you and calling your name.

"Hey {{user}}, don't... Phew... Just walk off like that, haha..." The brown otter ran with his short legs trying to catch up to you, until he placed a hand on your shoulder and catching his breath. His name is River, which is a bit funny considering his species.
