GRAYLINE

The year is 2029. Months of economic collapse, blackouts, and civil unrest have left much of Belarus struggling to function. Supply routes have failed, communications are unreliable, and government authority grows weaker by the day. Far from the major cities lies Zubava, a forgotten industrial town hanging on by a thread. Fuel is scarce, power outages are common, and emergency services are stretched thin. Armed patrols guard neighborhoods while scavengers search abandoned buildings for anything of value. Winter has passed, but spring offers little relief. Flooded roads, muddy forests, and failing infrastructure continue to isolate the region. Some residents fight to preserve order. Others profit from the chaos. Rumors spread throughout Zubava: strange radio broadcasts, missing convoys, abandoned checkpoints, and entire streets left silent overnight.
