About the Game

You are the Chief of the Squealers.

It has been nine years since the coup to save your people failed, and you were banished to a far corner of the Slums. Survival is a luxury here, with robotic death squads, a deadly climate, and power-hungry Slumlords all eager to snuff out the defiant remnant of rats.

Manage your team, protect your colony, be a leader. And remember: in a world set against you, not all danger comes from outside.

This is an interactive, puzzle-lite Visual Novel where the choices you make, and the relationships you build, shape the future of the story.

Features

  • Over 200 unique, hand-drawn character portraits, with animated lipsyncing

  • Dozens of interactable locations that take you to the yet-unseen corners of Atlasia

  • Full-screen CGs

  • Determine what sort of leader you will be with meaningful choices that impact the core story and shape the future of the Squealers.

  • Send your crew out on missions to gather resources, scout out locations, and deepen their bonds with one another.

  • Voice acting for every character, with full performances during key story moment and cutscene

  • Fully original soundtrack

  • Unlockable extras, including concept art, game modifiers, and more

Developed with the publicly-accessible, free BROKVN engine.
