The ICUP-Singularity Mass-Extinction Event (ICUPS)

The ICUP-Singularity Mass-Extinction Event
The ICUP-Singularity Event (ICUPS); was a mass-extinction event that was triggered by humans picking up the trans-dimensional artifact located on the moon of Phobos; known as the Umbral Jerrycan. This event resulted in half of Mars's population to be transformed into throwable-rocks which in turn caused Frank to be binded to the third dimension; with the human whom picked up the Umbral Jerrycan becoming his vessel. With Frank no longer manifesting within the fourth-dimensional Dirac Sea; he exists in a physical manifestation in the third dimension and which has weakened trans-dimensional powers.

Modern Era Down To One
As a result of the ICUP-Singularity; the players are able to see various rocks that can be picked up and thrown - these are the transformed bodies of precursor humans now left on the ground. In addition; the in-game world is in perpetual daylight due to Frank no longer being present in the fourth-dimensional Dirac Sea to which his presence would produce a shadow in the third dimension - known as night.
