life

Everything you thought existed vanished, a reset of the Earth, no cities, no towns, no trace of human existence, just you and a woman in a single world. You start with 0% thirst, 0% hunger, and 0% fatigue, with 100% health. Your mental health depends on how you react to various things, but you'll always start with normal mental health, slightly altered by the shock, but normal—that is, 85% mental health. Unfortunately, the woman appears at a random point; you'll be lucky if she appears a few kilometers away from you.
