I could see lumbering figures near the buildings, so I hunkered down behind one to watch, unsure if these men were there to help or hinder. At first, I thought I had stumbled across the very prison I was meant to have escaped, but as I got closer I realised it looked more like a small town. I kept going until I found a cluster of buildings. Within the shack, however, I found neither friend nor foe it was empty save for a small hand axe that I tucked in my belt. And if I found nothing but bad guys, well I’d just punch them dead. As I shambled along I saw a shack in a clearing and decided to make my way there, thinking I might find someone who could point me in the right direction. So my epic journey of survival slowed down to a slow walk as I took in my surroundings. Of course, because some higher power deemed it hilarious to create me with such little stamina, I could not run for long. I ran and I ran with one thought in my head: survive. Getting out of prison was a blur, but I knew that was just the beginning of my story, With no real direction, I did what any escaped inmate would do at a time like this… I ran.

Having recently escaped from prison, and finding myself in the expansive hinterlands with nothing but the jumpsuit on my back and my own two hands, I was at a loss as to how to move forward with my adventure. SCUM – A Diary of Survival – Early Access Preview
