In 2035 a retro-virus is released as a way to end a loosing war. The retro-virus is designed to alter the MUC 2, 3 and 4 DNA molecules in humans. The retro-virus mutates and spreads around the world killing 90% of the population. Those who survive require a much larger amount of food just to survive.The survivors start a new government. This new government, looking out for the people and the food shortage problems, passes the "One-Child Laws". These laws require that parents be force sterilized as soon as they have one child. A group that calls themselves "The PATH to the future of humanity" opposes these laws feeling that the government does not have the right to force mutilate the population.

After a number of conflicts, the government starts the P.A.T.H. (People Against True Humanity) games.Nova Contesta must overcome watching the death of her family in the P.A.T.

H. games if she is ever to survive the games herself and continue the effort to save humanity from the retro-virus which has already killed 90% of the population.
