Intro / Prologue
In the year 2093, the world fell into chaos when an experimental bioweapon, codenamed “Horizon Virus”, was unleashed by an unknown group. Humanity’s attempt to reach new frontiers in bioengineering backfired, turning millions into hostile, mutated creatures driven only by primal instincts. Major cities became ghost towns, and survivors scattered into fortified colonies or became nomadic scavengers. Rumors spread of the “First Carriers” — original hosts immune to the virus — who are believed to hold the key to humanity’s salvation… or final extinction.
You are one of these survivors, haunted by your past and driven by a single objective: to find a cure, a weapon, or anything that will finally give humanity a fighting chance. But beware, as not all who survive are friendly, and alliances can be more dangerous than enemies in this new world.
Act 1: “Echoes of the Past”
Your journey begins in the remnants of the city of New Aurora, where an underground resistance cell has set up a research base. You meet Dr. Lena Korova, a former virologist who believes the cure lies in the blood of the First Carriers. She offers a deal: bring back samples from carriers or areas of extreme contamination, and she will reward you with rare equipment, food, and access to hidden facilities. But as you dive into these infected zones, you’ll discover clues suggesting that the Horizon Virus wasn’t an accident — it was released with purpose.
