About the Game

This game is a course project that we're excited to launch and experiment with in the Steam world. We're telling a story with great enthusiasm and hope that it reaches many people who can appreciate the world in which it unfolds. The game is based in a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by a pandemic called Lavender, which infects simply by breathing it. The story takes place two years after the pandemic's outbreak. It's a graphic novel with decision-making, in which you'll play as Char, one of the main characters. It's a relatively short experience that introduces the entire world of Lavender.

In short, the game is a graphic novel with constant decision-making. Depending on the choices you make, the course of the story can change, leading to several endings in this first chapter.

The theme is post-apocalyptic, featuring zombies and survivors. In this world, there are four factions: survivors, the infected, the military, and the anarchists.

The survivors are those who band together to try to survive this catastrophe with the help of the military, while trying to avoid being infected by the lavender.

The anarchists are religious individuals who created a religion around the lavender, believing it to be something more than just an infection. They survive by looting the weak and making sacrifices to their god.

The military belongs to a corporation called S.U.P.S., which possesses advanced technology for its time, allowing them to exterminate the infected and clear nests with relative ease. Their intentions were never to save humanity.

The infected are all those who, in one way or another, were infected by the lavender, and are divided into two types: the conscious and the feral.

Dive in and choose your own path in this first chapter.
