It's the end of the world as we know it...

No-one knows for sure what happened. Most people just call it "the Event" - pronounced with a capital E. Whatever it was, it wiped out civilisation as we know it. The cities were hit hardest - but you were some of the lucky few who were far enough out, and made it through the first, brutal winter.

Now it's spring again. You, and the survivors who now look to you for leadership and guidance, can safely roam further from your hard-won shelter, scavenging for supplies and seeing who else is out there. Perhaps this is your chance to rebuild civilisation - do better than what came before. Or perhaps this is your chance to finally leave a life of tedious responsibilities behind and just enjoy what's left.

There are still a few remnants of the former government kicking around, as well. When the Event happened, they did their best to save as many people as possible - but their resources were quickly overwhelmed. Now, they need to work out what their role is in this new world.
