Basic Info:

  • Multi-story housing blocks. Windows can be jumped from to turn a character into a zombie.
  • Towers have no internal descriptions. Some towers, like Lerwill Towers in Greentown, have mobile phone masts mounted on them.

Description

Not to be confused with Aplin Towers, which is just two blocks away, Applin Towers is a Brutalist tower block, apparently designed by chimps to be inhabited by monkeys.

Home Sweet Home.

History

Constructed in the late 1960s, Applin Towers was part of the optimistic and ill-fated Tomorrow's Shuttlebank Project (ToSh), intended to reclaim unsavoury parts of the suburb. When first built, the apartment block offered such amenities as lifts with Muzak, mixer taps, and built-in cupboards, and it was meant to be the first of many such constructions across Shuttlebank.

However, the surrounding area remained a bleak hotch-potch of scrapyards, wasteland, and a grimy inner-city railway hub. It was no coincidence that Merchant Crescent Police Department was nearby, as crime in the area was endemic. The lack of shops and schools in the area made it a dismal place for the numerous young families who had been relocated to the tower, and many of the children who called Applin 'home' became bored, disaffected youths in the years to come.
