The Signal Grid

The world wasn't destroyed by a virus, or the undead, or a war. It was destroyed by a promise: a global network called the Signal Grid, built to connect every city, every device, every person on Earth into a single, seamless system.

For a while, it worked. Then it started doing more than transmitting data — it started generating signals of its own, bending reality through radio waves it was never designed to send.

The Hollowed

People caught within range of an active tower during the collapse didn't simply die. Many were changed — reshaped into unstable, aggressive versions of themselves. Survivors call them the Hollowed: still human in shape, but no longer entirely themselves.

The Silent Zones

Other regions went the opposite way. No signal, no electronics, barely any sound at all — areas that feel almost dead compared to the crackling static everywhere else. Nobody agrees on which is worse.

You

You're one of the few survivors who made it through the collapse behind a shielded perimeter. Now, low on supplies and options, you have to head back out — toward the last known working relay tower — to find out what the Signal Grid actually is, and whether it can be stopped.

A Choice Ahead

Every relay tower you repair brings the network back online a little more. That's progress — but it's also a risk. The stronger the signal gets, the stronger everything tied to it gets. Restoring the Grid might save what's left of the world. Or it might finish what the collapse started.
