The game is set in a world with a huge class disparity<\/strong> in which – for unknown reasons –\u00a0 humans have started to slowly transform into the animals they are consuming<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

These newly transformed humans are referred to as “Beasts”<\/strong> and mostly consist of members of the working class.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Members of the upper class<\/strong> are not yet affected by this and remain human<\/strong>, as they hunt and eat<\/strong> the lower class<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
