Short description · 305 / 300

A year after the Aurora’s appearance &amp; the world went dark, the people of Harmont &amp; its vast wild environs struggle to survive the Quiet Apocalypse. Survive alone or with others against a host of new hazards &amp; a fresh new survival sandbox from a pioneer of the genre. Live together. Die alone.

First sentence never names the genre. It opens: "A year after the Aurora’s appearance &amp; the world went dark, the people of Harmont &amp…"

Sequel is never mentioned. The game name signals a sequel but the short description doesn't say so.

A rewritten draft built from your own words is in the full report.
