In the year 2087, a virus outbreak ravaged the urban cities, spreading rapidly due to a waste management issue at a research lab. As the situation worsened, the government announced that a limited number of citizens would be allowed to escape to a secure underground bunker built to preserve humanity. The voters were tasked with deciding who would be granted access, but the decision was met with outrage when a leaked video revealed the government’s plan to prioritize the upper class. The news sparked chaos and desperation, and people began to fight for a chance to escape the deadly virus. As the clock ticked down, some chose to visit their loved ones one last time, while others watched in horror as their neighbors turned against each other, and the voices of reason were drowned out by the cries of those fighting for survival. The usual rules of society broke down, and the true value of humanity was called into question. The bunker’s vital life support systems struggled to keep up with the influx of new arrivals, leaving many to wonder how long they could last.
