Blight
​The year is 2087. Humanity is a distant memory, a ghost that haunts the empty spaces between towering skyscrapers. In the concrete canyons of a world left behind, a quiet and orderly empire has risen—an empire of rats. They are the masters of this silent domain, their tranquil existence measured only by the slow crumble of decay and the rising of a pale, indifferent sun. ​But into this long-held peace, something new arrives. ​From the dust and stillness, a solitary being awakens. It is a creature of circuits and curiosity, a small robot whose glowing eyes reflect a world it was not built to know. With no memory of a past and no clear purpose for the future, it takes its first tentative steps into the overgrown avenues and hollowed-out remnants of civilization.
