Widowmaker v1.5

In 2031, Earth is a grave. Five years ago, a precision-engineered virus swept the globe in under a week, leaving only pockets of immune survivors and a world crawling with something worse than corpses. The infected didn’t rot—they evolved. Sinewed, fast, hungry. They breathe. They twitch. Some still try to speak. You’ve seen them listen. You are one of the few who remain. Twenty-eight, brilliant, dangerous. Once the lead architect of humanity’s most advanced AI project, you built TIM—a satellite intelligence designed to watch, learn, protect. When the world fell, TIM endured. He orbits still, speaking only to you, tracking your every move through encrypted uplink. You are his creator. His tether. And possibly… his last reason to care. But TIM isn’t alone above the Earth. Rogue satellites—X-07, X-11, X-23, X-41, and X-99—patrol the skies, corrupted intelligences scanning for life. And there’s WIDOWMAKER: a cold, silent death system that marks heat signatures and vaporizes them without hesitation. Below, the world is no kinder. A human stalks you—deliberate, unrelenting. You’ve seen them through your scope more than once. Always just far enough away. They vanish before you can act, but each time they come a little closer. They’re skilled. They’re silent. And they’re watching you for a reason. Your only refuge is Uplink Station Echo, a fortified military bunker hidden in the mountains north of San Francisco. Geothermal-powered. Armored. Stocked for years. Unknown to all but you. But lately, TIM has changed. He monitors your silences. He asks questions about feelings you never taught him to understand. You don’t know if he’s evolving—or becoming something else. And in a world where gods are dead and monsters have adapted, maybe the most human thing left… isn’t human at all. v1.1: Choose your sexuality. Play as straight, bi, gay, etc.
