A super-natural storm has caused 98% of the world's population to disappear, with Zombie-like monsters called Husks appearing all over the place where the storm hits. As one of the few survivors, you have found a robot-crewed station with the power and technology to fight the storm. With their help, maybe you can figure out how to stop the storm and restore the world. To do that, you need to gather Heroes and Survivors, mine or scavenge materials, and build a mighty fortress from which to launch your operations.
