Premise

In late 2001 almost overnight, the sea level rose 200 feet causing a world-wide catastrophe. Entire cities are swallowed by the ocean and the following years of economic failure, starvation and war result in a fraction of earth’s population remaining. Now, in 2021 society is largely composed of settlements of various sizes that trade or engage in conflict with each other without access to public infrastructure.

Recently an organization called the WDRP (World Democracy Restoration Project) has abruptly appeared and established its headquarters in downtown San Diego among the office buildings and old battleships with enormous funding. A group called the Rangers has also formed nearby to investigate the dubious organization with suspicious intentions. Throughout the game the WDRP and Rangers will work to put an end to the other and compete over a narrative to win the opinion of the remaining world population in order to boost recruitment and gain the upper-hand. The player is a member of the Rangers and will explore the greater San Diego downtown area to put an end to the WDRP’s operations and collect documents or artifacts that expose their agenda. As the WDRP’s conspiracy unwinds, the desperation and lengths they’re willing to go will threaten the remainder of all life… or do the Rangers have it all wrong?
