In not too distant future, in a universe not too dissimilar to ours, the world is barren. Vast sprawls of arid deserts and inhospitable jungles cover the face of the planet, while the majority of its denizens persist in gigantic walled-off Metacities, governed by the omni present gov-corporations. These cities are home to many beings living under the tyranical regimes of their watchful overlords.
