Blooming Ashes

Blooming Ashes is a graphic novel set two years after the Lavender pandemic began. The disease spreads through the air in a post-apocalyptic world of zombies and survivors. You play as Char and make decisions that can change the story’s course, leading to several endings in this first chapter.

The factions

Four factions shape the world:

• Survivors: band together to endure the catastrophe with help from the military while trying to avoid infection by the lavender.
• The infected: people infected by the lavender, divided into conscious and feral types.
• The military: part of a corporation called S.U.P.S., whose advanced technology lets it exterminate the infected and clear nests relatively easily. Its intentions were never to save humanity.
• The anarchists: religious individuals who built a faith around the lavender, believing it is more than an infection. They survive by looting the weak and making sacrifices to their god.
