Fallen Earth - GDC Preview @ Ten Ton Hammer

Ten Ton Hammer has a look at the post-apoc title Fallen Earth based on a GDC viewing:

The storyline requires more than a modest mention, as it’s far from a lofty sidebar to your adventure; indeed, it seemed to have had bearing on every aspect of the demo. The tale of Fallen Earth, Hammock explained, is the really story of its factions, each with their own ideas of how to keep civilization safe in a post-apocalyptic world. The Chota ( or “Children of the Apocalypse”) believe that the only way to prevent the re-invention of nuclear weapons and other broadly destructive weapons is by chaotically frustrating society’s attempts to develop beyond covering the barest necessities. The Enforcers believe that authoritarian government and an emphasis on law and order is the way to go. The Vistas, like the operating system of the same name, seek to send everyone backwards in time, believing that repairing and fostering nature is the only way to restore balance.
