They told us this would happen. But no one listened. We polluted our oceans, our land, and our air. We all knew it was happening, but we did nothing to stop it. First the weather patterns changed. Then the fish died out or became too toxic to eat. The shit really hit the fan when the droughts came. Crops died off, and thousands starved and perished. But the worst part was yet to come. Societies were crumbling, and we began to turn on each other…
Millions rioted. They attacked the military, the government. The government struck back, some say they even used nukes. In the end, what the military did not kill, disease did. Fifty years later humans are the minority on the planet.
I’m out of food. Out of weapons. Out of luck! My only chance is getting to the West Coast. The rumor is that civilization still exists out there. But that’s one LONG walk from the East Coast. Who knows, if I can get past the Raiders and through the canyon,
I might have a chance…
Welcome to the reality of FringeWorld. A world based entirely on what is happening to our own planet as we speak. In a very real way. You could consider this game basic training for future generations.
The concept of FringeWorld is based on the fact that humanity is currently about to increase it’s knowledge at an exponential level. Some scientists theorize that our emotional capacity can not hope to match this increase in intelligence. As technology increases so will the depletion of our natural resources. In FringeWorld, corporations and governments hide these facts until the Earth reaches a breaking point.
As the final years approach, there is a mad scramble to overcome the impending collapse. This struggle results in a huge increase in technology before the final crash.
