Open-world survival RPG where you play as Joe Wheeler, a hedge fund manager emerging from his bunker a year after civilization's collapse. You scavenge supplies, recruit other survivors, and build a functioning community from scratch. The game centers on managing relationships—each survivor has their own needs and moral compass, and your decisions affect who stays, who leaves, and whether your settlement thrives or fractures. You'll plant crops for food security, trade with other groups, and complete quests that often force uncomfortable choices. Combat exists but isn't the focus; community-building and resource management drive most of your time. The world hides secrets about what caused the collapse, revealed as you explore. Choices carry weight—betray someone's trust and they remember it. Best suited for players who prefer long-term consequences over immediate action.
