Fallout: Starting Over

☢️ Fallout: Starting Over ☢️

Survival isn't about being the chosen one. It's about having enough caps for clean water. 💧

Fallout: Starting Over is a grounded, slice-of-life narrative sandbox set in the irradiated ruins of the post-war Wasteland. Stripping away bloated stat sheets and unearned power fantasies, this scenario runs on a ruthless Effort Economy ⚡ and a strict Cap-based Wealth Tier 🪙 system. You aren't here to save the world; you are here to scrape a living out of the rust, manage your logistics, and survive the daily grind of the apocalypse.

🛠️ Core Features:

  • The Effort Economy: Your willpower, stamina, and focus are represented by a single vital resource: Effort. Overcome dynamic challenges by spending it wisely. Use tactical positioning, specialized gear, or allies to lower the Base Threat.
  • 🪙 Caps & Wealth Tiers: Bottle Caps are king. Your total caps mathematically dictate your Wealth Tier, determining your abstract storage capacity for Rations and Medical supplies, and granting you status privileges when resting in Safe Havens.
  • 🩸 Win With Cost: Face an obstacle you can't fully afford? You can still push through by taking a severe narrative penalty—radiation sickness, broken gear, or a ruined reputation. You choose the price of your survival.
  • 🧠 Cerebral NPCs: Powered by an advanced ContextLock protocol. NPCs possess localized cognition, form independent biases, hold grudges, and follow independent daily routines. No one exists merely to hand you a quest or flatter your ego.
  • The Time-Freeze Protocol: The engine enforces strict anti-rushing mechanics. The AI will completely halt the narrative mid-action whenever an Effort cost is required, throwing the tactical decision directly back to you before resolving the scene.

🏜️ The Wasteland is waiting. Spend wisely.
