Setting
The Lost Cities are filled with modified zombies and spiders crawling around in the dark. You can already hear their groans reverberating through the darkness.

A mysterious catastrophe in the distant past plunged the world into an eternal night, enabling undead mobs to persist for longer and eventually develop heightened senses.

They are the monsters you were sent to fight against as the lone survivor of a secret military operation to take back the city.

Gear
Armed with your trusty pistol and knife, you will be forced to eliminate and loot the zombified monsters that once were the city's inhabitants to obtain new weapons and ammo that may prove essential to stay alive in this hostile world.

After the first ten minutes of intense combat, you hear the sound of a broadcast comm regarding a supply crate about to land in the center of the map. You make your way there, hoping to find anything that can help in your fight against the undead.
