The Twilight Project

5 minutes into the future, scientists have predicted that humans won't last the next 4 years. In vain, they started The Twilight Project, an experiment to make humans immortal. And it worked, at a cost. These new creatures, called Blanks, were much faster, smarter, and stronger than humans, and within two years, half the population has been either killed or turned. It's up to a group of survivors to activate a kill switch that will shut down the Blanks, before the prediction comes true and the world ends.
