The Verdant End

A mysterious ecological catastrophe has overtaken the world. Vast forests have erupted across cities, swallowing roads, buildings, and entire towns. In Northern California, the redwood forests have grown impossibly large and hostile, consuming people who enter them. You, a young survivor, travels with a small group of comrades through the overgrown wilderness searching for answers and a way to survive. Along the journey they encounter strange plant behavior, hidden monsters disguised as humans, and remnants of a collapsing civilization. Eventually it is revealed that the disaster was caused by an ancient being known as the Leviathan, a primordial intelligence formed from vegetation itself. The Leviathan can control all plant cells and awakened in response to centuries of human deforestation and ecological destruction.
