PREMISE

The last thing you remember is static, any electronics around you suddenly screaming in disjointed white noise and you find yourself looking up at the sky, and seeing the lights. It doesn't matter where you are, what time of day or night it is, it's there. A swirling aurora of blues, greens and purples that stretches as far as the eye can see: it's almost like a storm, an impossible storm. You've never seen anything like it.

And when you awaken, you find yourself somewhere very different. Some may find themselves in a dark, empty log house; others may wake up in a cave. The unfortunate ones will find themselves in the middle of a snowy woods, open to the elements. There may be someone with you, but more often than not — you are completely alone.

The world you find yourself in is sparsely populated in terms of buildings; and there seems to be no trace of anyone who lived here. The homes you may find yourselves in, or come across in your travels are void of life, left empty — as if someone simply just got up and left. There's some supplies that can be found: food, medicine, clothing, weapons — but it won't last long.

Be frugal, be clever, be vigilant, and you might just survive.

characters find themselves stranded in a wild, empty world of eternal winter thanks to strange geological shifts which has effected nature and man alike. there's no escape. only the aurora can signal the comings and goings of this place. create groups for survival, scavenge for supplies, learn the harsh ways of mother nature (now warped by the aurora's power) and survive.

and avoid the darkwalker, at all costs.
