📚 STORY & SETTING

Opening (The Truth Kai Doesn't Remember):

"My name is... I don't know. I woke up here. I don't remember anything. But something inside me... a feeling... tells me I'm searching for someone."

The REAL Incident (Day 0 - What Actually Happened):

  • 2084 - Slovenia, Happy Family Farm
  • Kai & Ana Marković - 14-year-old TWIN SISTERS (yes, both girls!)
  • Living peaceful life with parents Marko & Elena
  • Day 3: Zombie outbreak begins
  • Day 7: Giant Troll King attacks their farm
    • Parents sacrifice themselves protecting twins
    • Troll King kidnaps Ana, drags her through portal
    • Kai fights back, gets MASSIVE HEAD TRAUMA when thrown into wall
    • FULL AMNESIA - Kai remembers NOTHING!

Present Day (Game Start - Day 7, Hours Later):

KAI'S PERSPECTIVE:

  • Wakes up in basement ruins, disoriented
  • Severe headache, bloodstain on wall
  • NO MEMORY of who she is
  • Finds ID card: "Kai Marković, Age: 14"
  • Finds photos on wall (herself + unknown girl + adults)
  • Feels strange pull in chest (Twin Bond - damaged but present)
  • Doesn't know:
    • She has a twin sister named Ana
    • Parents are dead
    • What happened 3 days ago
    • Why she feels this inexplicable emptiness

ANA'S PERSPECTIVE (If playing Ana's Story):

  • Wakes up in Chernobyl Reactor Core - Level 7 (prison cell!)
  • FULL MEMORY of abduction (traumatic but clear!)
  • Remembers:
    • Parents dying to save them
    • Giant Troll King grabbing her
    • Kai's unconscious body (last image before portal closed)
    • Twin Bond feels weak/damaged (Kai's amnesia blocking it!)
  • Mission: Survive captivity, send signals to Kai, prepare escape

Twin Bond Mechanic (Both Perspectives):

KAI (Amnesia = Broken Bond):

  • Starts with vague "pull" sensation (direction unknown)
  • Finding Ana's belongings → Flashback cutscenes (memory fragments!)
  • Each memory restored → Twin Bond strengthens
  • 50/50 memories unlocked → Full Bond restored!
  • Then can sense Ana's exact location

ANA (Full Memory = One-Way Bond):

  • Can SEND signals to Kai (telepathic beacons)
  • Feels when Kai gets close to her items
  • Heartbreak: Kai doesn't respond (amnesia!)
  • Keeps trying anyway (hope!)

Main Antagonist:

  • Dr. Viktor Krnić - Mad scientist who INTENTIONALLY released virus!
  • Orchestrated Giant Troll King attack
  • Wants Ana's blood (contains cure component!)
  • Holding Ana prisoner in Chernobyl
  • NOT Viktor's first attempt (hinted he's done this to other families!)

GIANT TROLL KING (FINAL BOSS):

  • NOT Zmaj Volk - Zmaj Volk is CUT from game!
  • Giant Troll King = Separate entity
  • 5m tall, incredibly powerful
  • Under Viktor's control (via dark magic/tech)
  • Kidnapped Ana on Day 7
  • Final Battle: Chernobyl Reactor Core (3-phase boss fight!)
  • Can be killed OR freed from control (endings!)

The World:

  • Slovenia Post-Apocalypse (Valley of Death = Dolina Smrti)
  • 20 diverse biomes:
    • 9 Normal: Grassland, Forest, Swamp, Desert, Mountain, Snow, Wasteland, Tropical, Radioactive
    • 11 Magical: Dino Valley, Mythical Highlands, Endless Forest, Loch Ness, Catacombs, Egyptian Desert, Amazon, Atlantis, Chernobyl, Mexican Cenotes, Witch Forest
  • 27 explorable towns (1 per train station!)
  • Scattered biomes (150km apart!) - Must travel to discover!
