So why don't we take the Junglepill and go to Africa?
To be honest I feel like "3rd world shithole" is a far too underutilized setting. The only series I can think of, outside of movies, that uses it is Farcry, and even then only 3 of them do, 1 is about a PMC doing PMC things on an island, primal is prehistoric, not 3rd world, and the new one is going to take place in the US. I just want my comfy series where I'm in a shithole, and that isn't just the universal state of the world because of an apocalypse or excessive cyka blyat iv damke.
