Description
Inventory presents a tale of survival in a post-apocalyptic urban landscape. The main protagonist is Heida, former owner of a gardening shop who tends the supplies—the inventory—of a small community of survivors with a treasure she guards above all else: a supply of seeds. As she navigates day-to-day life in the wreckage of a former urban neighborhood of apartment houses, shopping centers and subway stations, Heida negotiates with other survivors to find a way to move forward, facing hostile human groups encroaching on her territory, while confronting the memories that haunt her of someone she has lost along the way.
