More DescriptionWhen the bombs dropped, the world changed forever. The cities we lived in are burnt and decaying monuments of what once was. The roads are paved with endless fields of skulls and bones. The survivors must constantly hide from an army of deadly sentient beings or commit horrible acts to survive. This is a tale of Sean, an ordinary man desperately hanging on to hope as he raises his young nephew, James. Together, they journey across a barren America in the hopes of finding a better life. With danger lurking in every corner, Sean begins to wonder if he can raise James to be a decent human being, or if he'll succumb to the trauma and become just another savage living among the ruins.Among the Ruins is a bare bones, suspenseful and emotional tale of survival where, instead of featuring an epic war between man and machine, the war occurs within the self, and whether or not this nightmare of a world is worth living in.
