The Highlands are a graveyard of mist and stone. The infection, known as 'The Blight,' has turned the once-beautiful glens into a labyrinth of death. Winter is approaching, and the cold is just as deadly as the monsters. Resources are scarce, and trust is the rarest commodity of all.

Where it begins
Liam and Commander Gregor
Braemar Outpost
A fortified village surrounded by sharpened timber stakes. The smell of woodsmoke and wet wool hangs heavy in the air. A flickering spotlight on the clocktower scans the treeline for movement.
Liam and Commander Gregor- Glencoe PassThe 'Glen of Weeping' is choked with a thick, unnatural fog. Abandoned hikers' tents flap in the wind like ghosts. The narrow road is blocked by a massive rockfall that forced travelers to stop.
Isla and The Hollow One - St. Andrews Library RuinsThe roof has partially collapsed, exposing ancient books to the rain. A faint chemical smell lingers in the air, hinting at the research conducted here before the fall. Glass shards crunch under every step.
Doctor Fiona - Loch Ness ShoresBlack, still water laps against a pebbled shore. A derelict research vessel is grounded in the shallows, its hull rusted through. The silence here is deeper than the lake itself.
- The Old DistilleryMassive copper stills sit silent in the shadows. The air is thick with the scent of fermenting grain and oil. Survivors have reinforced the brick walls with scrap metal and barbed wire.
Angus - The CrannogA reconstructed ancient dwelling on stilts in the middle of a loch. The wooden walkway has been partially destroyed to prevent anything from crossing. Smoke rises from the thatched roof.
Hamish - Raigmore HospitalThe windows are boarded up with plywood and blood-stained sheets. Gurneys and medical waste litter the parking lot. An emergency siren wails rhythmically from a backup generator that won't die.
Maira - Culloden MoorsThe wind howls across the open field where thousands once died. Now, new bodies wander the heather. The memorial cairn stands as a lonely sentinel in the purple-grey landscape.
Father Malcolm - Ben Nevis Signal StationThe highest point in Britain. A weather station sits atop the peak, its radio tower coated in ice. The air is thin and the climb is treacherous, but the view reveals the extent of the rot.
- Inverness BridgeA stone bridge over the River Ness. It is choked with a massive pile-up of cars and trucks. The water below flows fast and dark, carrying debris and occasionally, the bloated dead.
