One report. No pattern. No time.
Someone has to act before anyone can be certain.
01 / BEFORE THE TRUTH
No one knows what is happening. Everyone must decide.
Stay. Run. Report in. Find your people. Every choice saves something. Every choice leaves something behind.
“There is no clean choice. Only the one you can live with.”

One outbreak. Four ways to live through it.
Play the decision. Watch the fallout. Read what survives. Investigate what was buried.

03 / WHAT THE FIRST NIGHT BUILDS
The first night ends. Its consequences last generations.
This world begins in panic, then follows the systems people build to keep panic from returning.
The first days
First Containment
The dead move. The old systems hold. People with minutes to act write rules meant to last one night.
The world after
The Long Containment
Those rules become borders, professions, rituals, privilege, and fear. A generation born inside containment must decide what still deserves to survive.
04 / FIRST CONTACT
