Set in the 31st century, the game features a post apocalyptic world. The world is run by machines whereas Humans live in scattered civilisations with limited access to technology. The Earth is dominated by machines and the humans remember their ancestors as “Old Ones”. Machines and humans live in harmony. However, Humans do hunt down machines sometimes in order to utilise their parts.
