Nature is not — and has never been — in balance.
Nature is brutal and hard. Eat or be eaten.
In [ROOT.system], retro cyberpunk and green post-apocalypse are combined.
Civilisation has fallen and humanity lives in giant arcologies without any contact with the outside world.
Outside, the Greenery rules.
A network of plants that communicate via radio-telepathy.
It interferes with all other radio signals.
No wireless networks, no satellites, no mobile phones, no GPS.
In the Scandinavian arcology "City One", megacorporations are fighting over the dwindling resources. The world has gone from paradise to dystopia in just a few decades, and the discontent is growing among the lower classes.
It's a new, hard time.
Welcome to the future.
