What players say
Players praise the writing and atmosphere of this short RPG Maker horror game about two husbands living through a climate apocalypse. They call it bleak but hopeful, with many noting the game handles eco-fascism and queer love well. Some wish there were more meaningful endings, but most accept that fits the hopelessness.
