The story follows a sixteen-year-old girl named Maria who is of German-Mexican descent in the year 2050. The world in which she lives in is run over with a virus that has killed many, though remains ineffective to her specifically. The reason for this is that she is missing a part of her brain that the virus targets: the occipital lobe.
Players should expect a variety of in-game weapons that vary from more modern machinery to that of World War 2. While this might indicate a sense of violence in this future, the world is nowhere near as futuristic. However, there are several changes considering the timeline of events leading to this moment.
