Yes, it’s finally happened.

Scientists messed around with evolution one too many times and the worst has come to pass, an infection; one that steals everything but an all-consuming hunger for human flesh. The world has fallen to chaos and in this time of great unrest small groups are doing what they can to try and keep humanity alive. Some raise armies, some go out and scavenge, you, however, are tasked with your own goal – to utilise writing so that others my survive.

How do you accomplish this? Well that’s up to you – are you a wandering creative, surviving and documenting your experiences? Are you holed up within a safe zone, writing about life within? Are you part of a resistance again corrupt authority risen in this chaotic age? The choice is yours. But through your writing, others may survive, through your work, humanity may yet endure.

Above is the scenario Falmouth’s Post-Digital Content students will be working from over the study block! Stay tuned for fortnightly releases of differing media forms all set within a world overtaken by zombie hoards.

How will this scenario come to an end? Well that’s up to the students! Maybe a cure is found and humanity bounces back, maybe humanity decides to nuke the planet and set up a new scenario on the moon, or… maybe it was hopeless from the start, and humanity will be no more…

You’ll have to wait and see!
