Welcome to the Dark Times: A World of Survival, Faith and Fear.
The world as we knew it is gone. A cataclysmic meteor strike shattered civilization, leaving behind a barren wasteland where survival is a daily battle. But the meteor’s impact wasn’t just physical—it changed everything. This is the world of Dark Times, a gripping post-apocalyptic saga where humanity teeters on the edge of extinction, and the line between predator and prey has never been thinner.
A Dying World
When the meteor struck, the devastation was immediate. Entire cities crumbled, oceans boiled, and the planet was left in chaos. But the true horror came in the weeks that followed. The dust cloud unleashed by the impact smothered the sky, blocking out the sun. Without sunlight, plant life withered, and soon, animals starved. The food chain collapsed, leaving humans scrambling for survival.
The lucky ones scavenged for canned goods from the ruins of the old world. The desperate ones turned to a darker solution—cannibalism.
But humanity’s struggle for survival wasn’t just against hunger or the elements. Something else emerged from the darkness.
The Rise of the Vampires
For centuries, vampires existed only in whispers and legends. Confined to the shadows, they were feared but rarely seen. But now, with the sun hidden behind a constant dust veil, they are free to walk the Earth.
And they are starving.
With human numbers dwindling, vampires became more desperate, hunting openly in the ruined cities and shattered landscapes. The fragile remnants of civilization quickly realized that they were no longer at the top of the food chain.
The Church’s Iron Grip
In the midst of the chaos, one institution thrived—the Church. Offering salvation and protection, it became the last beacon of hope for the terrified masses. In fortified cities known as Havens, the Church ruled with an iron fist, providing food and shelter in exchange for absolute obedience.
Their secret weapon? Manna—a synthetic food source developed to sustain the faithful. But Manna was not freely given. Only those who served the Church and obeyed its strict laws were granted access. Those who refused were cast out into the lawless Badlands, where survival was a brutal test of strength and cunning.
A War on Two Fronts
The world of Dark Times is one of conflict.
- The Haven Dwellers live under the Church’s rule, protected from vampires but shackled by strict religious laws.
- The Outlanders choose freedom over faith, struggling to survive in the wasteland, constantly hunted by both vampires and Church enforcers.
With trust shattered and hope fading, every choice is a gamble with death.
The Journey Begins
Dark Times is more than just a story—it’s a brutal, immersive world where every decision carries weight. Who will you side with? The iron-fisted Church? The desperate Outlanders? Or the lurking darkness of the vampires?
The apocalypse has already begun.
The question is: how will you survive?
