The setting depicts an AfterTheEnd scenario in which the world's superpowers [[TheGreatPoliticsMessUp engaged in nuclear warfare]], [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt ravaging most of the surface world.]] The brightest minds of the time constructed elaborate underground bunkers known as "Coolers" to protect themselves from the blast. Unfortunately, [[GoneHorriblyWrong these failed horrifically]] and resulted in its inhabitants transforming into [[DeceasedAndDiseased freakish]] RadiationImmuneMutants, if they weren't outright killed by the blasts. However, the failure of these protective vaults also caused an interesting side effect - the alcohol that was brought into the Coolers was [[ILoveNuclearPower imbued with radiation,]] which is hailed by the remaining population of DisasterScavengers as the most potent and delicious drink in the wasteland.
You take up the role of one of these scavengers, dubbed Wasters in-game, in your quest to find some for yourself, which give you [[BoozeBasedBuff Booze-Based Buffs]] (or even ''de''-buffs) every time you consume them.
