Avatar Zero is a pixel-art, player-choice-driven interactive narrative game.
A human life is nothing but a succession of choices. Your choices, and those of everyone connected to you, determine how you exist. Suppose we understood the mechanics of human choice—could we then predict the fate of all existence?
To study this question, you will become the test subject in this mad experiment. You will face one binary choice after another. No more, no less—just two options. Yet you must deliberate carefully, selecting the correct path to steer destiny toward your desired outcome.
...But do you truly have a choice? As whom are you making these decisions? For what purpose?
Regarding choice, there is only choice.
This is a game about “choice.” It is also a game where “choice” is the sole mechanic. Your entire interaction involves advancing the narrative through binary decisions within the story.
Based on your choices, the game's narrative branches diverges. You must use your judgment to make the right decisions at critical junctures, steering the story toward your desired outcome and ultimately reaching the true ending.
What constitutes the “right” choice?
Among the options presented, some are ambiguous, some starkly divergent, and some even contradictory. You may even encounter numerous classic philosophical dilemmas here. Your decisions will determine the fates of the characters within the game.
