Ten thousand years is a long time to take a nap. Amelia, a fourteen-year-old human girl, has lived in Inkopolis for four years since she left her cryopod. Her brother, having promised to be beside her when she woke up, is missing. Her parents are long gone, and the only one to look after her is a sea anemone with a hidden past.

Having fallen in love with the sport of turf wars, Amelia has snuck out to participate in a match, despite the warnings from her caretaker. Will she forever suck at the game, being unable to go squid? Will she ever find her brother? Will she ever be allowed to reveal her identity without risk of being dissected by a psychotic inkling scientist?

Conflict consumed mankind for centuries, yet the greatest tragedy arrived in the form of Five World Wars. Each carved deep scars into the Earth, yet humanity would never learn from their past mistakes. On October 23rd, 2077, the end arrived, not with victory, but with fire. Nuclear storms tore across the globe, cities crumbled into dust, and the oceans rose to swallow what little remained. Humanity perished, its monuments drowned, its legacy buried beneath ruins and ocean. From the drowned world arose something new. Inklings, Octolings, and other marine-born kin emerged from the abyss, inheriting the planet humanity had squandered. From the bones of drowned empires, they raised spires of steel and stone, forging civilizations above the ruins of the old. In the year 14,024 AD, a long-forgotten human vault buried beneath the earth has yet to be discovered. Life on the surface is about to change... Credit: Nintendo - Splatoon franchise.
