Discover the Open World

It's 2100 and you are one of the few survivors.
You must progress and adapt through the ruins of the past civilization that collapsed due to global bacteriological warfare. To develop your camp and improve your living conditions, you must explore - alone or with your friends, to collect scraps and objects, restore items, or even create new ones that you will learn to craft along the way.
