14 itemsAbout the Game
In the year 2079, the United States crumbled under the weight of climate catastrophe, resource wars, and political collapse. Once a beacon of prosperity, it has now become a desolate wasteland where survival is the only law. The remnants of humanity form factions, each vying for dominance over what little remains—water, power, food, and fuel. Amidst this chaos, whispers speak of a hidden paradise, a land untouched by ruin known only as Elysium. Many believe it to be a myth, while others would kill for even the slightest clue to its location.
