Aye, you heard it. The apocalypse is here.
Nuclear war? Great plague? Big arsed meteor? Nae, it was caused by a lad named Butterknife.

Humanity wanted AI. We wanted smart drones. We wanted brain implants. Made life easy.
Humanity got it alright. But, we never suspected it to fall apart so quickly. We never suspected Nouscraft.

I reckon it's better than my old life, though.

Aye, I'd take yoga-posing zombies, yarn elementals, and exploding tortoises any day over my old life of living on Universal Basic Retirement. Just modern day slavery is what it is. That's why I understand people like Mindt. Y'see, she's keen on winning the Nouscraft game, using it to change the world.

Seems everyone's choosing sides. Win the game and shut it down. Win the game and keep it going.

For me, though, I just want to matter again.
