# The Story Begins

A mysterious calamity befell ancient human civilization. The last and brightest of humanity bestowed a gift upon their companion animals, granted the abilities of true sapience. 

The last humans put their young to cryosleep deep beneath the earth and decreed one final order to their pets: Protect the last of humanity. 

You are among the last Children of Men. Waking up in a strange new world, you must now find your pet companions left behind by your ancestors, then set out to explore and rebuild the world anew.
