It's good to meet you, Nico! Anyway, yeah. This place is called Mayfield, and it's around 50 Earth years - give or take a few - in the past. Everyone here is from different places and different time periods. Nobody's entirely sure why we're here, though.

The main thing is, don't trust the town itself. Once a month or so, it will decide something absolutely horrible needs to happen, that affects everyone. Stuff like making it look and feel like a nuclear bomb fell. Or zombies. Or mass hallucinations.

At any given time, any of that stuff can and will kill you. It used to be that you'd come back a day later, but some idiots went and broke the revival mechanism. Now, you come back, but it's a lot longer, and you have side effects. Like thinking you're still dead, or reliving the moment you died.
