Synced's premise is simple, established through a discordant medley of news reports that kick off this multiplayer game: an outbreak of nanotechnology gone rogue in the Pacific Northwest causes complete global collapse after the appearance of organic-synthetic mutants known as Nanos. In the aftermath, vagabond humans, codenamed Runners, journey into the exclusion zone surrounding the outbreak's source to push back the Nanos and attempt to put a stop to them once and for all. Oh, go on then Synced, twist my arm.
