You are Artyom, born in the last days before the fire, but raised underground. An entire generation has been born and raised underground, and their besieged Metro Station-Cities struggle for survival, with each other, and the mutant horrors that await outside. A handful of survivors took refuge in the depths of the Moscow underground, and human civilization entered a new Dark Age. In 2013 the world was devastated by an apocalyptic event, annihilating almost all mankind and turning the Earth's surface into a poisonous wasteland.
