Welcome to Bridged Valley
Welcome to Bridged Valley
Population: 300
Established: 1923
History: Quarantined in 1954 due to the Great Smog.
Time now is 1973 -- Southern California - midland- hot- greenhouse gasses -- received information that the climate is getting worse and the world will be destroyed-- this town was tasked with trying to figure out how to survive it.
The town of Bridged Valley sits in between two mountains out of sight. A great dome protects the citizens from the poisonous air and the merciless rays of the sun. Rumor has it that nobody goes in and nobody comes out.
Bridged Valley was created with the intention of preserving humanity as the world suffered from the collapse of ecosystem after ecosystem. The protective atmosphere of the world was worn beyond fixing, and the buildup of greenhouse gasses had made it difficult to produce food for the masses. Bridged Valley was meant to be a contained self-sustaining ecosystem, in hopes that the people of the valley would live long enough to discover a long-term solution.
However, the valley was no paradise, people have been disappearing left and right, and rumors of a mysterious being who watches all who live there are rampant. With so much confusion and distrust, no one knows how to approach the search for the missing people; and the watcher, as the rumored person has been dubbed, is a never-ending mystery.
