What Lotus is about
Billy is far from home when the alert goes out: a second wave of acid rain is on its way. There's no time to get back, so he takes shelter in a community bunker with five people he's never met. Worse still, his wife is somewhere else, and nobody knows how long they'll be apart.
You go through it with him. Billy has to face his fears, learn to share a cramped space with very different people and cope with the frustration of a wait with no end date. The game's simulators put you in situations where you can practice resilience safely: you try, you slip up, you get feedback and you go again.
As the story unfolds, you build a toolkit that works outside the bunker too: at the office, when change comes out of nowhere or the pressure is on.
