History

The setting for Die Young is an unnamed island in the Mediterranean Sea, presumably off the coast of Turkey. Its precise location has not been mentioned, but clues located through game play indicate that the island falls under Turkish political authority.

Originally home only to a village of fishermen, they were displaced with the establishment of a group referred to only as "the community", with the support of Turkish officials. The island also supported a small lumber operation and was home to a lone botanist. Both the lumberjacks and the botanist lived and operated separately from "the community", though there is evidence of cooperation between them.
