Character Concepts
Кевин
IT Specialist
A cheerful and friendly guy who, despite being social, prefers to spend time at home. Before the pandemic, Kevin led a quiet life, spending most of his time working on the computer. However, after the outbreak of infection, his familiar world was completely changed. After surviving a zombie bite, Kevin discovered that he was immune to the virus. Now, he may be the key to unraveling the nature of the infection and finding a way to stop the epidemic.
Лилит
Scholar
A mysterious woman about whom almost nothing is known regarding her past or present intentions. Marcus has no information about her other than that she is conducting experiments on the infected. What Lilith is specifically doing, how far along her research has come, and what her goal is remains a mystery. It is unknown even whether she is trying to find a way to stop the epidemic or if her experiments serve a completely different purpose.
Маркус
Office Worker
A young man exhausted by the daily routine and constant stress—someone who felt drained even before the pandemic began. After the contagion outbreak, his primary goal becomes survival and finding a safe place. Marcus is cautious around others and is slow to trust strangers. He tries to plan every step ahead, avoid unnecessary risks, and maintain control of the situation, even when everything goes off-script.
Алекс
Admitted
The last to join the group of survivors. Before the epidemic, he was under house arrest, though the reason for his punishment remains unknown. Thanks to Kevin, who helped him remove the electronic bracelet from his leg, Alex was able to move freely. Despite his mysterious past, he possesses excellent medical skills and takes charge of everyone’s health. He is particularly focused on cleanliness and antiseptics, and his habits and behavior occasionally fray Marcus’s nerves.
Location Concepts
A world where ordinary life crumbled after an outbreak of an unknown virus, which transformed people into bloodthirsty infected. The once bustling and lively city is gradually sinking into chaos: streets empty, buildings are destroyed, and traces of human civilization are slowly disappearing under the onslaught of nature and time.
HOSPITAL — sanctuary for survivors
The hospital serves as a base where characters can rest, regain their strength, replenish medical supplies, and plan their next moves. Despite its relative safety, this location does not guarantee complete protection from external threats.
CITY — Epicenter of Infection
The main setting where the outbreak of the unknown virus began. Most of the action unfolds here, forcing the heroes to constantly seek safe routes, gather necessary supplies, and avoid encounters with zombies.
OFFICE — Lilith’s workspace
A room in an abandoned hospital that Lilith uses as her primary workspace. This is where she conducts the initial medical examination of the three heroes, checking them for bites and other signs of infection.
SUBWAY CAR — the start of the journey
