Synopsis

Imagine waking up to a world plunged into darkness, where a meteor shower has blinded almost everyone. You're one of the few who can still see, but the real danger isn't the darkness – it's the triffids. These terrifying, mobile plants have learned to hunt, and with humanity incapacitated, they're ready to claim the Earth. Can you survive in a world where the greatest threat walks on roots?
