And as you attempt to fix a power supply in a dangerously crumbling sewer, you encounter a dying man who gives you a clue to a secret, underground rebellion. As such, she has taken on a “Lottery Job”, menial or dangerous tasks given out by the Aristocracy in order that citizens can earn lottery tickets for access to the limited stocks of vaccine. You’re Amy Wellard, a mechanic who has contracted the disease. And indeed there’s a new authority, the Aristocracy, a pastiche of the Elizabethan era of powdered wigs and whited faces, who live in decadence while the masses are dying in the streets of a disease called Green Lung. But there are markets, businesses, a functioning society. Times are very hard, the regular citizen has no access to electricity, and fresh food is hard to come by.
Set years after the bombs have dropped, when a new generation of adults barely remember the times of plenty before, Shardlight’s setting is interesting within the hoary trope of post-apocalyptictown mainly by how destitute it isn’t. We are also tasked with delivering a letter and learn that Amy is dying and needs the vaccine. Even if it costs her her life.Ībout this lets play Shardlight: We are sent to fix the nuclear reactor but discover the fate of the man that came before us. The poor live in fear, superstition, and squalor until they die.Īmy Wellard, a young woman reluctantly working for the government to qualify for the vaccine lottery, believes there’s a cure - and she’s going to find it. The rich receive regular doses of vaccinations in exchange for their unconditional government support. There’s never enough food, water, or vaccine to go around. The ruling Aristocrats - a faceless oligarchy that controls all resources - have unchallenged authority. Since then, it’s always been like this: disease, hunger, death.
