Plains of Pain Steam Key

Humanity was at the height of technological advancement when this happened. For some unknown reason, the sun began to produce gigantic solar flares that literally melted Mercury and Venus in a matter of days. The Earth was no exception and began to heat up as well. There was a general panic. Ordinary people relied on world leaders to somehow resolve the situation. They didn't. Instead, they immediately packed up and flew off the planet with the world's wealthiest class as part of a secret government project. Slowly, the original civilization began to disintegrate into smaller parts until there was almost nothing left. Over time, the planet was almost completely drained by the constant extreme temperatures. Only a minimum of vegetation remained. Of the few humanity that was left, most people went mad over time and just wandered the world looking for a little water and food. Two hostile factions are trying to restore some sort of general order and help those who haven't gone completely mad. But each in their own way. If you're not loyal to them, you're nothing more than a grain of sand in an endless wasteland. And this is where your story begins. You start out as a neutral survivor, and your only mission is to survive. How? That's up to you. You can build loyalty to one of the two factions, or you can stay neutral. There are advantages and disadvantages to both. Find out who's on the side of good and who's on the side of evil. Explore the world. Build your sanctuary. Trade. But above all, survive!
