In the world of Scarlet Nexus, you have to use your brain to survive. In the future, a special hormone has been discovered in the brain, which grants people special powers once activated. While this allows humanity to progress at an accelerated rate, deranged mutants called the Others begin to wreak havoc on the world, seeking out humanity s upgraded gray matter. The Other Suppression Force (OSF) was then established to combat them.
The city of New Himuka depends on the OSF for support, and the soldiers of OSF have become sort of celebrities. The police state is always a threat in futuristic narratives like this, but in Scarlet Nexus, things play out a little differently than how you d expect. Upon your first victory, for example, you re flooded by the paparazzi in the form of reporters and drones looking to grab a statement to celebrate your victory.
