In a world destroyed by war, pollution, and overconsumption, all that remains is bone, dust, plastic, and the distant memory of what once was. At the heart of this desolate wasteland is a mysterious yellow lake known simply as the Yellow Mouth, which devours everything in its vicinity. Two survivors, known only as It and Its Father, are Resisters of the Yellow Mouth, fighting to preserve what little is left of human knowledge, culture, and drive.

synopsis
Enter a world of darkness and yellow. Distant but familiar, a world on the brink of erasure. The aftermath of collapsed civilization, wars, overconsumption and pollution ...
At the heart of this barren wasteland lies a mysterious yellow lake. A swallowing pit, pulling at the Worldskin, drawing and submerging the surface into its depths, to end all definition. The Yellow Mouth. What the scarce survivors call it. They are It and Its Father, all that remains of the old world. They are Resisters, the last ones to withstand the pull of the Yellow Mouth.
Each day It and Its father start the Walk. Walk for so long, and stop only when the distance is right, only to awaken before the shores of yellow and not beyond them. They walk and feed on the bones in their path, while Father teaches son the way of the olden days, in an effort to preserve some remnants of knowledge, as the last archivists of remembrance.
THE WORLD OF IT REMAINS
CHARACTERS
Resisters
What remains of Old Man’s world. The last ones standing, the last to move away and resist the pull of the Yellow Mouth. Walking the Walk. Day after day. Feeding on the Eats inside the bones in their path. Repeating words. gathered and preserved as meaning for all things past and present. Repeating less and less each next day. It and Its father, the last archivists of mankind. Man-kind-of…
Sitters
Resisters whose hearts have given up. Dead before death, itself. No will left to continue the struggle of its routine, no feet left to walk theWalk of resistance.
Answering instead the call of the Yellow Mouth, ready to no longer just take part but rather become a part. Yellow-charmed. Passive lone figures, carried with the current, waiting to be swallowed by the waves. Unless another Resister catches them first and snatches the feast from the swallowing pit, for a little longer, anyway. For ‘a Sitter’ eats and moist are like no other, fresh and full of warmth and knowledge residue.
Half-Deads
Resisters whose has brains died but their body lived on. Mindless. Sleepless. Endless. Man-like beings with Addings that refuse to give up, grasping for life, still moving away from Yellow. Feeding the movement with anything in the way, be it bone, plastic or flesh. Weak and slow at daylight, half-deads own the night. For the refuse to stop, dead but not in Yellow.
The rotting in their heads carries an effect that both frightens and excites all Resisters that encounter it.
