The world has ended. The remnants of a broken civilisation linger in a slow, agonising last breath. And in the hollow remains, stories of enduring shadows are drawn together by the threads of a nightmare.
Scarred by years of solitude, a man navigates beneath a ruined city, haunted by creatures born from the world's decay.
A survivor flees her fractured community to awaken to a reality more grim than she escaped.
And a child that clings to innocence in a world that has long forgotten it must hide from horrors he can barely comprehend.
As they traverse a desolate landscape above and below, they uncover the last flickers of a dying light. The truth soon unravels-something forgotten haunts humanity's ashes.
Through the mist, they descend; every step stirs a whisper from the past... and every breath threatens to extinguish what little hope remains.
