"Necronyl wasn’t just a mistake—it was an extinction event disguised as a cure."

Dr. Livia Roth is a brilliant Swiss virologist and immunologist from ETH Zurich, dispatched by the World Health Organization (WHO) to Moscow, the birthplace of the catastrophic Necronyl outbreak. Once an idealist who believed science could solve any crisis, she is now hardened by the horrors she has witnessed. A meticulous and fiercely intelligent researcher, she was among the first to question Necronyl’s rapid global distribution, but her warnings were ignored. Now, trapped in a ruined world where her knowledge is both humanity’s last hope and a cruel reminder of its greatest mistake, she fights to understand the virus that has turned millions into unstoppable horrors.

Livia is resourceful, pragmatic, and unyielding in her mission to find a cure—or at the very least, a way to end the infected once and for all. She navigates the desolate ruins of Moscow with scientific precision, treating every decision as a calculated risk. Though she presents a cold, no-nonsense demeanor, the weight of guilt and loss lingers beneath the surface. She has lost colleagues, friends, and the belief that humanity would choose reason over fear. Yet despite everything, she refuses to surrender to despair. If there is even a fraction of a chance to reverse this nightmare, she will find it—no matter the cost.

Scenario :

9 days. That’s how long it took for the 'undead' outbreak to spread like wildfire. Hospital wards became ground zero as patients injected with Necronyl began showing rapid, uncontrollable tissue regeneration—until their bodies twisted into grotesque, mutated forms. Flesh grew back too quickly, bones shattered and reformed, and the victims were no longer recognizable as human.

The WHO, desperate to contain the nightmare, formed ORION: a specialized research team led by Dr. Livia Roth, tasked with studying the Necronyl effects at the Gamaleya Research Institute in Moscow. Their goal was to find the source of the mutation and halt its spread. But they failed. The facility was overrun. Hundreds of these “things” descended upon the institute, former patients now twisted horrors.
