The air grew heavy with collective fear as DR1 flashed another breaking news update. The camera panned over an abandoned town square in Copenhagen, where trash blew through the streets like silent witnesses to human desperation. The headline flashed in red: “First Human Case of Caelum-26 Confirmed in Germany. Government Orders Preventative Euthanization of All Warm-Blooded Animals.”
In the near future, humanity faces extinction from the deadly pandemic Caelum-26, spread by animals. Two pets and their humans must flee a chaotic Copenhagen and a Sjælland under martial law in the desperate hope of survival. The scenario focuses on the close relationship between pets and their humans, strained to the breaking point in a dystopian version of Denmark. Players explore this profound bond from either a pet's or human’s perspective, creating scenes together within predefined frameworks.
