∣ The pandemic rapidly spread, leaving society in ruins. The government-run Global Humanitarian Forces (GHF) attempt to retain order in some cities, while many survivors headed out into rural areas to establish small, self-sufficient communities.
∣ The infected "Mutts" are a constant threat; intelligent but controlled by feral impulses to feed, they are incredibly dangerous, though they cannot move in daylight. Nights are frought with dangers from infected humans and animals - and other surviv
