rough notes for game

2035:

takes place somewhere along the Canadian/American Border though the two countries as we know them today do not exist. The average citizen does not have access to mass communication, though radio and tv signals can be picked up. For those in cities little is known about what is going on outside ones own proximity. The internet still exists... somewhere... if you can find it maybe you could learn more about what is going on in the world?

What you do know is that industry started leaving North America in the beggining of the 21st century and by the end of the 20s most but not all of the factories/power plants have shut down. Many died out fighting for the resources left behind by the consumer culture of the 20th century, most city dwellers live by collecting metal, growing their own food, ect.

Government still exists in a state of eternal martial law with police and military largely blured.

As the game progress the character will learn the scandelous truth about the civil decay.
