The Non-Playable Characters

After a global cataclysm caused by a pandemic, the majority of Earth’s population has perished over diseases and lack of resources. Only the wealthy population managed to afford something close to a cure through exorbitant vaccines and shelters. Nearly everyone else - especially the poor - faced degradation and death.

While on the role of survivors, the affluent society came up with a way of entertaining themselves by converting necessitous ones - the few who had survived anyway - into avatars inside a videogame. By having their minds remapped to those avatars, the fictional world they instinctively created was really close to the dystopian real world where they used to live in.

Therefore, it was only natural that the players would call it “Post Earth”, an open-world videogame that uses real people’s minds while their bodies are incubated on some source of game server.

So the game went on and on… Until one day, a character spawned, destined to change it all for good.
