The events of the [[Predation (era)|Predation]], even if they seem recent, are shrouded in mystery and constantly debated. The prevalence of the year 2197 in many of the recovered tools, although it does not prove anything, offers a semblance of a common ground. Nevertheless, the traces left behind speak and ruptures are on everyone's lips.

Agriculture once stretched as far as the eye could see before giving rise to the ''Great American Desert'', the ''[[Great Loto-Quebec Fireworks]]'' and the ''[[Black Plain]]''. What were called the ''States'' were, but the ''States'' are no more. A "chorus virus", [[HaNa]], decimated the populations. A [[large army]] destroyed cars faster than they came out of the factories. The [[Revenants]] (formerly called the ''Great Lakes''), had now yet dried up. Across the [[Great Tongue]], a tower in the middle of the waters exploded, covering the ocean with plastic. The ''Enternet'' was ''unlimited'', but the traces of it we find today, isolated, now reminds only as encrypted crumbs. The invisible radiation became flesh. But the humans were so numerous that they survived all the imaginable deaths.

It's already been generations since everything changed. It was the warming, now comes the real part. The [[Meric]] is a web that has no center, no fixed shape, and in its blood flows the freedom to find oneself.

The universe of ''[[The Sum:About|The Sum]]'' (which is not the same as [[Wikipedia:Fallout|Fallout]] game franchise from which it was created) presents the atmosphere of a ruined world with equipment relative to a [[post-apocalyptic]] civilization, this one coming after the long fall of an industrial civilization of the 21{{th}} - 22{{th}} century (understood in the game as the period of the [[Predation]]).

[[The Sum:About|The Sum]] focuses on [[Wikipedia:Role-playing game|exploration]] and day-to-day [[Wikipedia:Survival game|survival]]. The player-triggered dialogues with the [[Wikipedia:Non-player character|non-player characters]] take place autonomously according to the points ([[Skills]] and [[Traits]]) of the main character. The visited locations are either small scattered communities, connected by rare points of contact and technologies, or ghost towns occupied here and there by survivors. By meeting other characters, the player can initiate a dialogue, obtain informations or tasks, exchange goods, recruit friends (to change the composition of their group) and sometimes start an armed conflict. Occasionally, characters encountered may be encountered again elsewhere.
+
[[Nous Aurons:À propos|Nous Aurons]] met l'accent sur [[Wikipédia:fr:Jeu d'aventure|l'exploration]] et la [[Wikipédia:fr:Jeu de survie|survie]] au jour le jour. Les dialogues déclenchés par le joueur avec les [[Wikipédia:fr:Personnage non-joueur|personnages non-joueur]] se déroulent de façon autonome en fonction des points (facultés et personnalité) du personnage principal. Les villes visitées sont soit de petites communautés éparpillées, reliées entre elles par de rares contacts et technologies, soit des villes fantômes occupées ici et là. En rencontrant d'autres personnages, le joueur peut initier un dialogue, obtenir des informations ou des tâches à accomplir, échanger des biens, recruter des ami.e.s (pour changer la composition de son groupe) et parfois déclencher un conflit armé. À l'occasion, les personnages rencontrés peuvent être croisés de nouveau ailleurs.
  
=== Start ===
+
=== Début ===
After an initial situation that is usually disadvantageous (one must choose from [[The Sum:Contents#Main characters|22 main characters]] who all have their own stories), the player can choose to stay or venture out into the world.
+
Après une situation initiale habituellement désavantageuse (il faut choisir parmi [[Nous_Aurons:Contenus#Habitant.e.s|22 personnages principaux]] qui ont tous leur propre histoire), le joueur peut choisir de rester ou de partir à la découverte du monde.
  
=== Equipment ===
+
=== Équipement ===
The main character carries a [[GPSP (Global Positioning System Portable)]], a kind of electronic tablet that helps them to get information about the surroundings. It includes an interface to read electronic chips and USB keys, a battery and a [[Wikipedia:GPS (navigation assistant)|GPS]] map whose data must be reconstructed. Thanks to a miniature subcutaneous generator, the tool recharges automatically from the body heat of its wearer.

Le personnage principal porte sur lui.elle un [[GPSP (Global Positionning System Portable)]], sorte de tablette électronique qui l'aide à obtenir de l'information sur les environs. Il comprend un interface pour lire des puces et des clés USB, une pile électrique ainsi qu'une carte [[Wikipédia:fr:GPS (assistant de navigation)|GPS]] dont les données doivent être reconstituées. Grâce à une génératrice miniature sous-cutanée, l'outil se recharge automatiquement à partir de la chaleur de son porteur.
  
The game features a large number of various objects and weapons that serve as witnesses to the past world, not always being useful to pick up.
+
Le jeu présente un nombre important d'objets et d'armes variés servant de témoins du monde passé et qui ne sont pas toujours utiles à ramasser.
  
=== Group ===
+
=== Groupe ===
The game system allows the player to control several characters simultaneously, forming a group that follows the main character in their travels. In some specific places (communities or safe meeting places), it is possible to entrust or "drop off" characters that the player no longer wish to "keep", or welcome others.
+
Le système du jeu permet de contrôler plusieurs personnages simultanément, constituant un groupe qui suit le personnage principal dans ses déplacements. À certains endroits spécifiques (communautés ou lieux de rendez-vous sécuritaires), il est possible de confier ou "déposer" des personnages qu'on ne souhaite plus ''utiliser'' ou en accueillir d'autres.

=== Combat ===
The combat system in [[The Sum:About|The Sum]] is continuous. All characters fight at the same time, with action points regenerated at a rate based on their Agility score. It is possible to change position (standing, crouching, prone), which affects the accuracy of attacks.{{Warning|The game on which ''The Sum'' was created allows for turn-based [[Wikipedia:Turn-based strategy|turn-based]] play, but this mode is mostly hidden in ''The Sum'' to simplify the game}}
+
Le système de combat de [[Nous Aurons:À propos|Nous Aurons]] est en continu. Tous les personnages combattent en même temps, les points d'action étant régénérés à une vitesse basée sur leur score d'Agilité. Il est possible de changer de position (debout, accroupi, couché), ce qui influe sur la précision des attaques.{{Avertissement|Le jeu sur lequel ''Nous Aurons'' a été créé permet un jeu en [[Wikipédia:fr:Jeu de stratégie au tour par tour|Tour par tour]], mais ce mode est désactivé dans ''Nous Aurons'' pour simplifier le jeu.}}
