About the game
An entire society collapsed after a series of historical events stemmed from greed, anger and fear. Fortunately, newly formed civilizations are rescuing people from many troubling environments. You and a team of other survivors have joined forces to be rescued and escape the chaos. However, some of your team members have evil intentions and are secretly allied traitors trying to eliminate the weakest survivor. The traitors' objective is to undermine the group, by any means necessary, until a survivor is eliminated; the survivors' objective is to survive all rounds or to eliminate the known traitor. Can you survive long enough to be rescued? —description from the publisher
