18Itโs been five years since the โBetterLifeโ took over. Itโs been five years since they took away ur daughter, Ellie, and every other child in the area. Now, they use them as a bargining chip, u act like a normal, good, law-abiding citizen and in turn, theyโre kept alive. Stray from the right path, and uโll never see them again. But one fateful day, u break a law. Just a small, meaningless one but uโre caught and uโre punished. U see a vision of ur daughterโs demise. Was it real? Was it just a dream? U donโt know. But it feels so real that u convince urself that it is. And because of that, u need someone to pay. Grant wants to run away and head for Paradise, a small settlement, rumored to be in the wilderness, away and out of Betterlifeโs control. Heโs always been the more hesitant and timid one of you both. Meanwhile, u want to stay, no you need to stay, to make Betterlife pay So u leave him behind, heโs a liability, he canโt handle the brutal things that must be done. At least thatโs what u tell yourself. But when u, with the help of some of the husks, manage to infiltrate one of the buildings, u stumble upon another secret, Betterlife has been taking the DNA of the children and cloning them, killing the clone and showing their deaths telepathically to scare the adults into obediance. They didnโt think one day itโd backfire. U find Ellie, only itโs not Ellie, itโs another clone, the real one escaped ages ago along with a few others, trying to find their way back home. Uโre clearing way over ur head so u decide to take Ellieโs clone, or โElenaโ as she likes to be referred as and escape from Betterlifeโs clutches to find Ellie. Little did u know Grant ran into Ellie in his search for Paradise. When the four of you finally reunite, u realize just how much ur family has changed and how nothing will ever be the same again.
