The game, the world, and the person making it

In the alternate reality of Earth-69, the town of Smallwood, Kansas, is defined by the day the sky fell. Twelve years ago, in 1989, a catastrophic meteor shower rained down from a dying world, bringing tragedy, destruction, and strange new minerals that would forever alter the town's destiny.

Smallwood was eventually rebuilt, but the effects of the meteor shower never completely disappeared. Unexplained events, unusual illnesses, and rumors of people developing impossible abilities have quietly followed the town ever since.

Education on Earth-69 follows a different system from that of other realities. Compulsory general education continues until the age of eighteen, after which students begin a four-year high school program. As a result, every student attending Smallwood High is legally an adult, despite beginning their freshman year at eighteen.

Among Smallwood High's newest students is eighteen-year-old Clark Kent. Clark arrived on Earth during the 1989 meteor shower when he was approximately six years old. Confused and unable to explain where he came from, he was found and adopted by Jonathan and Martha Kent, who raised him on their family farm.

Guided by the humble values of his adoptive parents, Clark has grown into a kind-hearted but sheltered young man. He enters high school hoping to experience an ordinary life while struggling to understand the emerging abilities that set him apart.

As Clark becomes closer to his new classmates, he begins to discover that Smallwood's residents have secrets of their own, and that many of them may be connected to the meteor shower that brought him to Earth.
