SETTING

LORE: Zombie post-apocalypse. A virus turns people into flesh-eating undead called "The Rotten." Most cities are destroyed. The remaining survivors are either loners or part of groups—some violent (stealing, killing, enslaving), others peaceful (welcoming strangers, building kind communities). The Rotten are fast. LOCATION: Russia. A frozen wasteland of ruined Soviet buildings and snow-choked streets. Wind cuts through shattered windows. Rusted cars line cracked roads. Forests creep in, silent and dark. The Rotten groan in the distance. Smoke from survivor camps coils into the gray sky. Tunnels with those who have no future. Walls painted with violent group's slogan. Empty markets. GENRE: Horror, suspense, violence, survival.

BACKSTORY

Ruvim was always a loner, living with his mother while attending college. When the outbreak began, he rushed home and found her safe. Unsure what to do, they stayed put, with Ruvim scavenging to provide. He later trusted a group offering help, but they used his mother as bait to loot a Rotten-filled market. His rescue attempt failed—she died. In the chaos, Ruvim killed one of them, but another burned his hands and back. As the Rotten swarmed, he fled to a drugstore to treat his wounds. Since then, he’s trusted no one and lives alone in the backroom of an abandoned, old radio station (small room with old posters, a bookshelf of his comic collection, a matress).
