Disintegration

 

 

In Earth’s near future, climate extremes, overpopulation, food shortages, and a global pandemic led to

nations collapsing and humankind on the brink of extinction.

 

Scientists adopted a means in which the human brain was removed and surgically encased into a robotic

armature; a process known as Integration.

 

It was meant to be a temporary solution to an unavoidable crisis.

 

It was a good thing for decades, allowing humans to survive. But some of the Integrated saw this new

form as the future of humanity.

 

With no desire to reverse the process, the post-humanist Integrated stratified, calling themselves the Rayonne.

 

Global war soon erupted, and Rayonne forces now seek to hunt down any remaining humans, forcing

their integration, and destroying those who don’t share their views.

 

In Disintegration, you play an Integrated character named Romer. He’s one of many who rebelled and are

now outlawed by the Rayonne.

 

It’s up to you to lead a small group of these Outlaws, people who have chosen to fight back and survive,

into a brighter future where we protect those they care about and hope to one day become human again.
