The world ended decades ago. What's left are the undead and those with the will to survive.

A group of survivors will be driven out of the only home they know. Their compound in the heart of a crumbling city has been overrun. With zombies clawing behind them, they flee into the wilderness and face the horrors of the post-apocalyptic world. On the road they encounter not just more zombies, but bandits, wild animals, and even a ruthless feudal society.

Background

The ApocalypseX

In a few short months, modern civilization was wiped from the face of the earth. It started as rumors of a deadly virus in China and soon spread all over the world. Gone are the days where we could take electricity, water, food, shelter, or safety for granted. After a decade, less than one percent of the population remains alive. However they've managed to survive, the isolated pockets of humanity are separated by seas of undead.


The UndeadX

Usually the living dead are slow, shambling corpses. However, even after a decade of rot, some can still run. A smart and agile human can easily out maneuver a couple, but the real danger is in the massive hordes. Do not underestimate them though. Zombies will do anything to feast on human flesh. They feel no pain. They do not tire. They will not die. Not on their own that is. A good blow to the brain will take them out for good.


Our HomeX

Built in the remains of a once sprawling city, the Compound is home to over a hundred hardy survivors. The tall walls keep the living dead out and last remnants of civilization in. For years it has been a desperate grip on the life we once knew. Sometimes there is electricity and running water if there's enough fuel and brains to keep everything working. But don't be fooled: safety doesn't exist anymore in this world.


Other ThreatsX

Aside from the insatiable undead, there are other terrors and threats outside the walls of the compound. Bandits, hostile survivors, feral animals, and unforgiving nature can just as easily destroy the remnants of humanity. There have also been rumors of a rival survivor group, one that has embraced the dark age we live in completely. It is said they have reverted back to the standards of the middle ages and have become a feudal society with knights and castles and all. So it's said.
