Your mission is to survive in this post-apocalyptic world. You will not find any tips, waypoints or tutorials but rather use your own mind to survive in this world. Your choices will decide your destiny as the game has no save points & extra lives. If you fail, you will lose everything that you have & you have to play again from the start with nothing in your inventory. Fight enemies in the hostile environments where other characters can be your friends or enemies.
