The world ended quietly. No last stand, no heroic battle. Just silence and rot.
As the undead stalk the ruins above and darker things than the dead stir within. Ash and Jason are forced to confront what they've both buried: the fear of needing someone, of being needed, of caring in a world that punishes emotion with death.
In a landscape where the dead never rest maybe the living don't have to be alone.

FERALIGHT: Genesis (Season 1)
__________________☣☣☣☣☣☣________________ It began with a discovery. A microscopic organism unearthed in the northern lands of America-ancient, predatory, and alive. Scientists named it Nyxfera, after the goddess of night, for it devoured everything it touched. One mistake. One careless hand. That was all it took for the infection to escape the lab and spill into the world. A bite, a scratch, even a drop of its black ichor in your blood was enough to twist your body into something monstrous. But these aren't the zombies you've heard of before. They don't just rot-they evolve. They mutate into new, terrifying forms, adapting with each host. Civilization collapsed in weeks. What remains is a world where survival is no longer about fighting the dead... but the ever-changing, ever-hungry Ferals that once used to be human. ______________________________________ »»»» Apocalypse has a new name.«««« ______________________________________ Welcome to FERALIGHT.
