Plot Synopsis

According to the plot synopsis, almost three decades have passed since the virus was unleashed from a biological weapons lab.

They inhabit a small island, secured by a heavily defended causeway that connects them to the mainland's terrifying landscape.

Survivors' Journey

The story unfolds as one of the survivors ventures into the dark heart of the mainland, uncovering shocking secrets, bizarre wonders, and horrifying mutations impacting not just the infected, but fellow humans too.
