Themes

Survival and Mutation: Humanity battles to endure in a world reshaped by cosmic spores that mutate life, testing resilience against both nature and alien threats.
Group Conflict: Deep divides among Cultures and Cults fuel ideological clashes, as factions vie for dominance, often at the cost of unity.
Civilization’s Decay: Society has regressed to tribal states amid the ruins of a lost civilisation, struggling between progress and the primal need for survival.
Fatalism and Hope: Despite a bleak world, human resilience and fleeting moments of solidarity offer a glimmer of hope against pervasive despair.
Primal vs. Modernity: Primitive instincts clash with remnants of lost sophistication, as humanity’s tribalism meets distorted echoes of past modernity.
