Features

  • The game

    A love letter to retro anime and 80s Sci-Fi. The game is a visual novel adventure in the spirit of classic PC-9800 titles. Featuring a vintage green screen aesthetic, the developers have created an "era-accurate" game that exudes retro vibes in every way, from the text to the visual effects.

  • The story

    A new threat emerges from the void. Humans have long since freed themselves from the grasp of gravity, but they are still unable to escape the hold of war. It is year 214 of the Planetary Calendar. Four years have passed since the end of the Solar War and an uneasy peace persists throughout the solar system. What starts as a routine assignment quickly escalates into a battle for survival as an unknown threat terrorizes the crew.

    Visual Novel Fans, Don't Sleep on This One

    Really solid visual novel with some stellar visuals that hearken back to the PSX days of Policenauts and Snatcher. Some minor bugs here and there which are being quickly ironed out via updates, but overall a great experience. Can't wait to see what this team cooks up next
