The year was 2042, and the greatest scientist in the world, Luigi Apilio, had cured the largest error in humans - themselves. The world was crumbling, pollution and global warming taking their tolls, which made mankind as a whole glum and seemingly dead. Actually, a lot were dying; they could not cope with the unclean air. The birds never sang, the Sun never shined, the world was never happy. Doomsday was approaching. But there were a few who had not given up - a few who hadn't lost all hope. These people joined together and gave themselves a name - the Elpidos. Luigi was in this group. They focused on fixing human nature's broken genes, mostly unsuccessfully.

Until one day, when Luigi had a spark of brilliance. He made a device, so small as to be invisible, so numerous as to be an army. This device, when injected into someone, could program them into whatever they wanted to be. The device was developed, and, eventually, given out to people - people who could now be someone else. Many people chose kindness as their main quality, which cured the Earth - the skies were again blue, the forests green, the population thriving.

The first version was given out for free - humanity needed it. This version could change only how people acted, nothing more. The second version could change personality; the third, change their mind completely. And it only got better from there. The Elpidos unlocked the key to changing appearances - and, of course, they used it. The better the next generation, the more expensive they were. Some people claimed that they were becoming greedy, taking everyone's money.

All good things must come to an end. The version was F-13, and the newest update was rather strange - feature removal. Everyone thought that Elpidos had gone mad. Until they began using it; removing their noses, eyes, mouths, fingernails. It was soon the latest trend, and almost everyone you saw on the street would be missing something.

Then the apocalypse started. The devices seemed to change of their own accord, turning people into beasts, monsters, things that should never exist. They were seemingly random among the community. Elpidos was overrun by angry mobs, who found that the entire place had been changed into creatures. Violent, vicious creatures, that tore them limb from limb and burned them. Normal humans became scarce, found only in remote or hidden places.

You are one of these people. You have lived in these circumstances for ten months, staying under the radar. Soon, though, that will all change. A meeting has been called - a meeting which only humans can go to, and only humans know about. You have nothing to lose, so decide to go. The cities have been reduced to burning rubble, the streets crawling with things other than humans. This is the world you have grown used to. This is the world you must survive in.

This is the world you must save.
