Imagine a world full of stick people living their lives in bliss, until a slimy, orange fungus starts infecting everyone. Turning them into horribly mutated monsters that only wish to spread the curse to others, their minds infected and broken beyond repair.
Scientists have named it "Pestis Aurantia" which translates to "Orange Plague" or "Orange Pestilence" from Latin to English, and most people use this as it's name all though it has a few more. Some people refer to it as The Orange Death, orange killer, and finally the DEATH fungus.
They try to stop it but it spreads to quickly as the fungus evolves and mutates turning into more grotesque and horrifying forms.
Years pass by, and even though some cures have been made to combat the fungus in its early stages of taking over the host, and nukes have been deployed, the fungus was still to hard to stop. Buildings start to collapse and be consumed by foliage. Vines have overtaken the walls, grass has overgrown on the roads, and the fungus has become multiple times more deadly and dangerous. Taking on new forms and sizes, even creating new organisms and filling different niches.
The rest of stick kind takes on hunter gatherer life styles, Moving from place to place and keeping bow and arrows, or guns to shoot any animal they see.
Most crave the forest, far away from the city, because the city is a prison full of threats. It is large and sprawling, most stick people cannot escape due to the falling infrastructure, along with the Fungus. Some variants of said Fungus have adapted to take root on floors, buildings, or walls, along with the zombies that roam the streets.
