I hate long expositions in games, and the one I have is already way longer than I would have liked, but wanted a particular scenario, so the following is hinted at and referred to in the game but not fully explained.

When the World Wide Web broke down the world erupted into full scale nuclear war. 
What remains inhabitable has been divided into three zones: the Safe Zone, the Unsafe Zone and the Tarnished Zone. 
In the Safe Zone life goes on pretty much as before, albeit with some restrictions on immigration, tourism and computer networks.
In the Unsafe Zone things are worse. Nuclear waste has lead to disfigurements, diceases and even mutations for a percentage of the population. The economy is struggling with a massive pressure on health care, environmental cleaning, natural recourses and law enforcement.
The Tarnished Zone is beyond repair. People there who do not die of "unnatural" causes like homicide or traffic accidents have a life expectancy of about 35-40 years due to massive pollution and nuclear waste. Anarchy and chaos is the norm, but there are always some who find ways to capitalize on such things...

If I had the tools & skills I'd summarize that in a neat video. But I don't, so I won't.

When I wrote the story I intended to make one part in each zone, but once I started actually making it I quickly saw that it was way too long, so I concentrated on getting the first part done.
Which means I should probably have called this game "Part one" or "episode one" or something.

INSTRUCTIONS:
-----------------------------

Run cPepper.exe

Click stuff and stuff happens.

If the game crashes it's probably a scripting error, and I'd appreciate it if you e-mail me and let me know. See bottom.
