Contagion

Résumé de l'Histoire Players must survive the initial outbreak in a locked-down bus terminal, navigating through infected areas, making moral choices about other survivors, and ultimately finding an escape route before the military completely seals the facility. The story explores the immediate collapse of society through microcosm, with relationships forming and breaking under extreme pressure.

Points de l'Intrigue The infection spreads through bodily fluids and bites. The newly turned retain some muscle memory (can turn doorknobs, use basic tools). Military containment procedures begin within 30 minutes of outbreak. The terminal's maintenance tunnels lead to both potential escape and deeper into the infestation. Some survivors are hiding in various locations throughout the terminal. Not everyone who appears helpful can be trusted—desperation makes people dangerous.

Informations sur le Monde Modern-day setting at the very beginning of a zombie apocalypse event. The infected are classic slow zombies—dead, reanimated, and driven by hunger. They can be stopped only by massive trauma to the brain. Electricity and utilities are still functioning but becoming unreliable. Emergency services are overwhelmed and transitioning to containment rather than rescue protocols. The outside world is still mostly normal but rapidly becoming aware something terrible is happening.

Notes de l'Auteur Play this like a survival horror game—conserve resources, choose battles carefully, and remember that running is often smarter than fighting. Pay attention to environmental details for potential weapons and hiding spots. Your relationship with Lena can determine survival chances—she has medical knowledge and crisis experience. The infected are slow but never stop coming, so don't get surrounded. This scenario works best if you embrace the panic and desperation of the early outbreak moments.

Instructions IA Maintain relentless tension and pacing—this is a survival horror scenario where every decision has consequences. The infected should move with that specific zombie apocalypse shuffle: slow but relentless, overwhelming through numbers rather than speed. emphasize the sensory details—the smells of blood and decay, the sounds of dragging feet and moaning, the flickering lights creating pools of safety and danger. Lena should serve as both ally and source of medical/survival knowledge, but she's not invincible—make her vulnerable to the same threats as the player. The military should be hinted at through distant sirens and eventual lockdown procedures, representing both potential rescue and the threat of being trapped inside with the infected. Combat should feel desperate and messy—improvised weapons, limited resources, visceral gore, ripping flesh, crunching skulls and the constant risk of attracting more attention. Second person.
