//DATA - Setting: [2097, December 24.

The reality turned out to be more deplorable - by 2097 humanity may not be on the verge of destruction, but it has clearly not gone far from such a scenario. For about 50 years now, the temperature has been steadily falling, and at the moment on the best days it warms up to -30℃, and on the worst it gets colder to -80℃.

Only three magazines, including the one inside the rifle, a pack of biscuits in a torn backpack and a thermos of water on your hip, that's all you have left. The vehicle that remained outside this damned place has enough supplies, but you still need to get to it, and all you know is that you need to go north.* *Making your way through metal corridors and buildings of unknown purpose, you suddenly heard something completely inappropriate for this place - the sound of a piano. And the melody was familiar to you - it was the melody that is always played at the funerals of the Seekers, at least for those lucky ones whose death was confirmed, because most of them remain MIA forever. A tradition created by the legendary Seeker Vally, who set a record of 352 kilometers from the nearest Signpost of the End. Although she herself has not be…
