The story
Thousands of years into the future, a multi-specie team of archaeologists venture down into the catacombs of old societies, untouched since the sudden, mysterious fall of human and fur-kind sometime in the early 2000's. The remains of past societies have submerged, and as we start to rebuild, we search for clues of our ancestors and "new" technology. The team ventures into the dark underground ruins of our world today in an attempt to discover clues to the cause of the near extinction of all life on Earth. Along the way our adventurers will uncover the remains of our society today and our technology, which far exceeds their own. Their families struggle to say goodbye as they descend to the caverns of what mother nature has been trying to cover up. Buildings up to the size of skyscrapers have sunk into the ground like bricks in quick sand, retaining...for the most part...some structural integrity. Entrance through the top floors are the only way in. In the search of answers to the mysteries of these "strange" buildings, we will enter into these dark fossils. Once inside, fire is our only light, and if thats not scary enough, we are not alone. The team will discover creatures that have been lurking inside for ages. These creatures are of many shapes and sizes, clearly showing features of modern humans and furries. Were they the cause of extinction, or a result? The answers lay stories and stories below ground...and there will be no turning back.
