The rising cost of living has caused widespread chaos. With the rich/poor divide steadily increasing life is becoming harder and more stressful. The economy troubles have affected the entire globe, and instead of uniting against the problem it is causing conflict. Even within countries there is conflict meaning that the cities are all left to fend for themselves, creating their own cultures and laws.
Such a city is Hallow City, a place of diverse variety of people. There are the Rich that live their lives happily, the economy slump affecting them little to none. They live mainly in cut off neighborhoods, separated from the 'scum' that live outside. That scum consists of the average civilians and those unfortunate to slip between the cracks and become homeless. The civilians lead stressful lives, trying to squeeze onto every penny so that they don't join the increasing ranks of the homeless living on the street. These are the people the economy slump has hit the hardest, causing them to loose their jobs and homes before they can blink, thrown disoriented into the street at life’s cruel twist of the wheel.
As the situation in the city got worse and worse the mayor had the brainchild of the clean up the streets program. One that hoped to decrease the population of Hallow City, wipe the slate clean and start again. So all members of the population not contributing to society, as in the homeless, were set to be exterminated. The Strike team of the police lead by the chief of police are the brutal enforcers of this new plan. Going out day and night and slaughtering the homeless regardless of age or gender in secret. This goes unnoticed as all the other members of Hallow City are too busy with their own problems. There is one ray of hope however in the form of the resistance, a group of homeless banding together to fight the police, whilst also trying to get the homeless back into work. The only real group that is trying to help the situation in Hallow city in a positive way.
Hallow city has become a dangerous place, the civilians afraid of becoming homeless and resorting to desperate measures like rioting, mugging and stealing. Whilst the police are becoming more brutal and controlling, especially to the homeless who find everyday a struggle to survive. Most people are only able to get what they need, any comforts or pleasures having long gone out the window, with little money for the necessities never mind anything else.
So could you survive?
