Description
The whole world has become a prison, and Alfred Furnace is its master.
Monsters rule the streets, beasts of pure fury that leave nothing but murder and madness in their wake. Those who do not die are turned, becoming slaves to Furnace's reign of cruelty. It is a war to end all wars, one that will leave the planet in ruins.
bI am a monster too. I am one of Alfred Furnace's children. And I am the only one who can stop him. I have to find a way to use my powers to destroy Furnace, but in doing so I risk becoming the very force that kills us all.
I don't know if I am the executed or the executioner. I don't know who will die: me, Furnace or the entire human race.
All I know is that one way or another, it all ends today.
