We Remain

"The world ended. We didn't."

The infection managed to kill 41% of the world's population of children 18 and under before the governments and world leaders came together, dumping billions of dollars into research for a cure, miraculously found in under a year. Those over 18 were asymptomatic to the disease, and only about 0.3% of the adult population ended up getting the vaccine, whether it be conspiracy nuts or scientists, while it was obligatory for the children and every newborn since to be vaccinated in fear of another outbreak.

Eight years later, unbeknownst to the remaining population, the virus has mutated and evolved, but the past vaccine has still protected those who got it. However, the ones left behind have been turned into mindless, flesh-craving monsters who roam the streets.

After being separated from her group as they escape their old school, Mack tracks her her friends across decimated California, encountering more enemies than allies as she attempts to find and reunite with them. Meanwhile, her friends have been clashing with others groups as well. Yet everything is changing, and the line between right and wrong begins to blur.

People's masks slide off, and those who may have been your best friend are now willing to kill you if it helps themselves, or people are simply crazy, going around murdering others as they take joy in the lawless new society.

Because at the end of the world, the only thing more dangerous than what's out there... is who you become.
