Left Behind

"People are running in all directions, trying to finish whatever last-minute tasks they have left. A group of motionless figures stands out among this frantic activity. The amputees. They've nowhere to go.

They watch their friends and neighbours impassively, some of them standing, others who are missing legs sitting on empty crates or barrels. A few look in your direction, but there is no anger in their faces, only resignation."

You have the following options:


 * I did what i had to do: Hope falls

The Generator is critical

 * I'm staying with you: You will gain 24 more hours.
