Occupation: Rainfall

Two years after aliens landed and scrambled humanity into a makeshift resistance, survivors in Sydney push to turn the tide. The city becomes a battlefield where improvised squads trade shots with invaders and hunt for a way to disrupt the aliens' hold on Earth. Amid ruined skylines and shifting alliances, Matt Simmons and Amelia Chambers lead a ragtag group of fighters and scientists who assemble a plan that could tilt the war in humanity's favor. As casualties mount, the resistance uncovers a scheme that could end the conflict or seal the planet's fate. With Earth's fate in the balance, the clock ticks and every decision could matter. The struggle unfolds with a mix of ground warfare, improvised tech and gambles.
