"Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower whose top shall reach to the sky, and let us make a name for ourselves, that we may not be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth."

A strange epidemic is sweeping the Earth, attacking the brain, including the speech centre and its associated memory-logic areas. Human speech is taken out, communication becomes very difficult, human society falls into anarchy.

Researcher David Burke finds a partial solution to the problem, which allows limited speech. Aware that the method may have unforeseen consequences, he is testing his theory with a small group of people.

With difficult communication and the background of the characters, the players are plunged into a unique but disturbing and depressing adventure, where the stakes are the rise or fall of humanity.
