Dystopia needs your help
Let's find out more...
Dystopia is an emerging metropolis growing in the ruins of what once was the great city of New York. Most of the earth was destroyed by a massive earthquake and tsunamis wiping out cities in different parts of the globe.
To rebuild what’s left and create order, the ruling government of Dystopia decided to implement a system that divides its people into different groups or factions based on their specific skill set and innate talents and gifts, using DNA tests.
Citizen Factions
Citizens are divided into 4 groups:
- artists,
- engineers,
- biotechnicians (in charge of growing things) and
- architects
The Unlisted
A defective group called “the unlisted” don’t belong to any group, they are outcasts. They threaten to disrupt the order of the metropolis by stealing and controlling the data. We have to save the data and metropolis.
