☢️ [Worldview]

Fictionalized modern day, United States of America. In the aftermath of the nuclear war that broke out three years ago, the once bustling metropolises have been reduced to ashes and mechanical wreckage. Foreseeing this, the government launched Project Ouroboros, an experiment to find the most effective human control variables so that civilization could be rebuilt after the war. But for some reason, the experiment failed, and all the subjects were destroyed.

'Cedar Valley', California

After the nuclear war, radiation levels remained low enough that many survivors gathered here, and there are still signs of its former prosperity. However, there are still “mutants” roaming around, animals and humans that have been altered by the effects of the nuclear explosion.

⚜️ The Golden Corridor A religious group that believes that the destroyed world is a revelation by the “Golden Light” and that they are the chosen ones. They organize pilgrimages to loot supplies and kidnap survivors to become believers, and members of the pilgrimage are called “Guardians”. They wear protective suits or costumes adorned with golden cloth. Even death is considered a martyrdom for the golden color and is not feared.

⛓️ Red Dot A radicalized group of survivors who have taken over a large shopping mall. They monopolize resources through strong military control and strict discipline, demanding ruthless and enforced obedience from the weak in the name of order. The entrance to the mall is blocked by a black iron gate, and all members of the group must wear a red mark on their clothing or body.

🏟 Krateros The site of a former stadium, now transformed into a human arena. A system of absolute dominance is practiced, and the weak are brutalized or used as pawns to entertain the victors.
