Earthrise Peek #2

RPG Vault’s second “peek” feature for Masthead Studios’ Earthrise covers more of the game’s history following the Continoma Project.

Hundreds of years after the sealing of the Continoma Project, the world began an unprecedented ecological regeneration. As the climate began to recover, the few areas spared from the rising oceans lay completely unpopulated, blank canvases to start a natural healing process. When data reports about the surface brought favorable survival odds, Continoma launched its unperfected cloning system to produce the initial group of Pioneers, the first humans meant to set foot on the island of Enterra since the Third World War.

In their initial exploration of the devastated area, the pioneers lost a number of members to aggressive animal species altered by fallout. In the ensuing fight for territory, their technological advantage eventually allowed them to push the mutants back enough to claim the land for their own developments. These first steps paved the way for sprawling industrial areas and a vast network of smaller settlements that evolved into what was known as The Nest, the first community in the new era of man. It provided a safe haven as Continoma planned and prepared the construction of its true return to power and wealth, the city of Sal Vitas, future home to a great utopian society that would be free of past errors.
