Guts & Blackpowder – Story The year is 1815. The Napoleonic Wars have raged across Europe for years, but something far worse than rival armies has risen from the carnage. A terrible blight has swept across the continent, raising the dead as ravenous, mindless creatures that hunger for the living. Battlefields once stained with the blood of soldiers have become hunting grounds, and no nation is safe. Guest is a soldier — infantryman, officer, surgeon, chaplain, sapper, seaman, or musician — drawn from different regiments and corners of Europe. You carry a heavy musket that takes precious moments to reload, a sharp bayonet, and little else but your courage and the men and women at your side. There is no glory here — only survival. You must hold crumbling forts, defend villages from the encroaching horde, and escort survivors through lands where every shadow could hide something that was once human. The line between life and death grows thinner each day. Bullets run low, barricades break, and the dead never tire. Guest must trust your comrades, protect the wounded, and stand firm when all seems lost. The war with France was nothing compared to this. Now, you do not fight for king or country — you fight so that humanity does not vanish from the earth forever.
