A monstrous flood turned Samara into the Atlantis of the 21st century. The dam of the Zhigulevskaya hydroelectric power station was destroyed, the city almost completely went under water. Many died before they had time to awaken from suspended animation... Nikolai Klimov woke up on the top floor of the shopping complex. Lucky. Together with a group of survivors, he escapes from the flooded city. But inexorable time and the water element are not the worst things. Much more dangerous is a person. After all, the water will soon subside, and not all those who survived will want to work to improve their lives. Will the commune created from the fragments of society be able to revive the city? Will those who have retained their humanity be able to withstand the brutal bandits? Is the game worth the candle? Nikolai is sure: it is. After all, through the ruins of devastated Samara, the features of a new, living city emerge.
