How it feels

A slow, deliberate simulation of triage and moral compromise in a dying world, where each decision carries weight and unease.

What players say

Players praise the apocalyptic visual novel premise but are frustrated by the lack of convenience features. The dialogue appears one character at a time with no skip option, mouse is the only way to advance text, and multiple playthroughs are expected but replaying the same 40-minute opening is mandatory.
