About the Game

Welcome to K City, a living supernatural novel where you run a job agency for self-aware NPCs. Make key choices in this meta, humorous visual novel anthology filled with quirky adventures.

​About the Game​

Step into the strange and self-aware world of K City—also known as the City of End. This metropolis is the setting of a supernatural tale, populated by low-level NPCs who are fully aware they're characters in a story. Their daily struggles aren't just against the oddities that plague their lives, but also about working odd jobs to make ends meet.

You play as the owner of a small employment agency in this bizarre city. Your role is to find work for these "aware" residents, provide support, and ensure their safety—all while getting drawn into the strange and wonderful incidents that define their everyday existence. The characters you meet will constantly break the fourth wall, commenting on the absurd world they inhabit, filling your journey with meta-humor.

Your dialogue choices and key decisions will shape the narrative, leading to different story branches and outcomes. The game is structured as a ​​"Story Anthology,"​​ featuring five self-contained chapters. Each offers a complete, satisfying experience lasting about ​2.5 to 3 hours, perfect for players who enjoy compact, well-told stories.The total gameplay duration is 13-14 hours.

​Key Features​

· A Fresh Take on the Supernatural:​​ Experience a world of urban legends through a lens of lighthearted humor and character-driven storytelling, rather than pure horror.

· Rich Meta-Comedy:​​ Interact with characters who know they're in a story. Their self-referential jokes and witty commentary on their own bizarre reality provide a uniquely entertaining experience.

· Choice-Driven Narrative:​​ Your decisions matter. Make key choices in dialogues that steer the story in different directions and unlock various plotlines.

· Anthology Format:​​ Enjoy five distinct, short stories. This format is ideal for players seeking a complete narrative experience in a single sitting.

· Engaging Ensemble Cast:​​ Get to know a colorful cast of NPCs, each trying to navigate their strange lives with a mix of resilience and humor.
