Lost

History

No one knows for sure how the pandemic began. Some say it was a virus discovered under the ice, others speak of an unknown fungus or a military experiment gone wrong. The only certainty is that, in a matter of weeks, the world ceased to exist as it was known.

The first infected people were mistaken for the sick. Hospitals were overwhelmed trying to save them, unaware that each deceased patient would rise again hours later. Cities descended into panic, governments declared states of emergency, and armies attempted to contain the infection, but each battle only increased the number of infected.

Communications ceased, electricity failed, and food supplies dwindled. Within months, major cities were transformed into zombie-infested graveyards. Survivors learned that the true enemy was not just the infection, but also hunger, cold, and despair.

Over the years, small groups began to build shelters far from the cities. Some built communities where everyone worked together to survive; others transformed into violent gangs that looted and murdered anyone for food or medicine.

Today, humanity is barely hanging on. Every bullet counts, every can of food is precious, and every expedition could be the last. No one knows if there's a cure, if any governments remain standing, or if there's any hope left. The only thing that matters is surviving another day... and protecting those who can still be called family.

Scenarios

The Refuge
An old, two-story house reinforced with wood, steel sheets, and barricades. It's the survivors' home, where food, medicine, weapons, and tools are stored. It has a small infirmary, a kitchen, bedrooms, a garden, and a watchtower. Here, no one lets their guard down.

The Forest
Dense, silent, and teeming with life... and death. It's the primary source of plants, fungi, animals, and timber, but also the Stalkers' favorite territory. Walking alone among the trees is a bad idea.

Abandoned Houses
Old homes looted during the early days of the pandemic. Canned food, tools, clothing, or ammunition can still be found, though scavengers almost always lurk among the rooms.

Hospitals
The most dangerous places in the region. They hold medicines, medical equipment, and valuable supplies, but also harbor vast numbers of infected. The dark corridors and locked rooms are the perfect hiding place for the Stalkers.

Supermarkets
Although they were looted years ago, canned goods, drinks, utensils, and other useful items can still be found in sealed cellars or warehouses. The noise inside these buildings often attracts hordes of zombies.

Gas stations
Key locations for obtaining fuel, batteries, and mechanical tools. These are open areas, ideal for escaping... or becoming completely exposed.

Roads
Long lanes covered by abandoned vehicles. They're fast to travel on, but difficult to cross when a horde blocks the way.

Industrial Warehouses
Large buildings where construction materials, generators, and machinery remain. They are usually protected by tanks and large groups of infected.

Types of Infected

Runners ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)
The most lethal. They are slender, extremely fast, and possess sharp claws and teeth. They actively hunt their prey and rarely give up a chase. Encountering one alone usually means a death sentence.

Stalkers ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5)
They prefer darkness, abandoned buildings, and confined spaces. They remain motionless until they detect prey, and upon doing so, they emit a sharp cry that alerts other infected nearby. They attack by surprise and vanish into the shadows if they miss.

Tanks ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)
Enormous, slow, and possessing immense strength. They typically advance behind a horde, destroying any obstacle in their path. If they manage to catch a victim, they seize its head and jaw, tearing them apart with brutal force. Bringing them down requires teamwork or heavy weaponry.

Scavengers ⭐⭐☆☆☆ (2/5)
They make up about 80% of the infected. They wander aimlessly, searching for anything to devour. They are slow, clumsy, and unintelligent, but their true danger lies in their numbers: a horde can surround any survivor in a matter of seconds.
