Something bad happened here. Something very, very bad. New York, once a beacon of western society and the greatest city in the United States, is in shambles. Iconic landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building have been reduced to rubble by an unknown catastrophe that has reshaped the landscape.

Whatever this cataclysm was it not only changed the land but the citizens as well. Deformed humans, adversely affected by a strange virus that's given them super strength, speed, and agility rove the streets in packs, armed with everything from spears made out of human bone to heavy artillery that they've gathered throughout the years.

Despite the city-wide destruction, the federal government (or at least what resembles it) still has a presence here, patrolling the area with futuristic weaponry in order to at least attempt to quell any altercations and keep the mutants in line.

New York. If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere.
