Golden Hour in a Post-Apocalyptic World
After The Collapse, Earth was reborn as Solara—a dying planet forsaken by the privileged elite who fled to Mars through the NASA–United Nations initiative known as the Exodus Project. They named themselves Martians, leaving the Earthbound behind to fend for themselves. But contrary to expectations, those left behind did not perish. They endured. Against impossible odds, the survivors rebuilt society, reformed civilizations, and gradually breathed life back into their scarred world—choosing to rename it Solara, a symbol of their resilience.
Yet even in desperation, human nature did not change. Greed persisted. Nations gifted with newfound powers emerged—and war returned with them. This time, battles raged with limited infrastructure, fewer weapons, and scarcer resources. Amidst the overgrowth of forests and thriving ecosystems, Solara seemed to be healing—on the verge of becoming the blue planet Earth once was.
But not all dreams survive the dawn.
Without warning, a catastrophic outbreak spread across Solara: the KS-V1 virus, known as the Kharon Strain—or more ominously, the Zombie Plague. Reanimating the dead with terrifying resilience, it threw the world into chaos once more. Amid the collapse, Kael, a former Overseer of the elite Aegis Task Force, crosses paths with Leon, a skilled Decryptor. Together, they unite not just to survive—but to uncover the truth behind the outbreak and stop the Hollow Plague from consuming what little remains of humanity.
As Kael and Leon battle through swarms of the infected, they unravel a trail of conspiracy, betrayal, and ancient secrets hidden deep beneath Solara’s reborn surface. And the more they learn, the clearer it becomes—
This was never just about survival.
It’s about what was left behind.
