The world didn’t end in fire.It rotted. Cities stand as hollow skeletons.Governments are ash.Hope is a rumor whispered by the desperate. When the last safe settlement falls, a small band of survivors known only as the Ravens must cross the dead zones — territories swallowed by violence, famine, and something far worse lurking in the ruins. But survival is not their only battle. Trust fractures. Secrets surface. And the wasteland is watching. In a world where mercy is weakness and memory is pain, one question remains: How much of your humanity can you lose… before you become the wasteland itself?
