Because of a nuclear disaster in 1986, across Eastern Europe one can find roaming herds of radioactive bison that are just doing their thing, eating and hanging out with non-radioactive bison and occasionally getting eaten by wolves or prodded by scientists. This is their story.

This is a game about group cohesion and radioactivity. As a bison your goal is just to do what bison do. As a human your goals are a set of clearly spelled out and extremely annoying tasks. There are some other fun animals in the mix and their goals are self-explanatory.

This game includes humor, light touching and plenty of shenanigans.
