In the vast amounts of Post Apocalyptic games like Fallout, I Am Alive, Metro 2033, and even Spec Ops The Line why have we not really see a game take place while the event was happening? Imagine a game taking place during a global flood? Or the spread of deserts or even the rapid growth of the forests?
Well it does not really mean that there would be mass death. Imagine an open world game where you started off normal. But the more you play, the forest grows and grows across the world and consumes towns and every other thing in its path. Not really killing, but destruction.
Would you like to see that happen? I personally have not see one before, so that is what I am basing this on.

Well the problem comes in how to make the person survive all that without making it very linear. Plus you've got to create tons of NPCs and player models that look good but will never be seen again.
