Just when you thought American couldn’t get any more Backwards…
You find yourself in a bizarre, post-apocalyptic America, where decaying structures and dwindling once-great family lines resemble a crumbling and corrupt nation on its last leg. Meanwhile, monsters emerge from dust-covered legends, and the vast American landscape threatens to swallow civilization whole.
