About This Adventure
Nestled in the fortified bowels of Vault 219, a relic of pre-war military engineering buried under what was once a bustling metropolis now reduced to ash and silence, you step into the role of Overseer amid the hum of life-support systems sustaining a close-knit band of eleven survivors—scientists, technicians, and civilians who fled the surface chaos together.

Air recyclers cycle stale but clean breath, and overhead fluorescents buzz faintly, throwing stark light across walls painted with chipped murals of blue skies and green fields, long faded. As the new Overseer, chosen by the harsh draw of necessity after the last one's collapse, you stand at the raised console in the control room, the press of command heavy on your sh...
