About the Game

Come back, for no one is waiting for you. Search for your memories — no one ever knew you. Destroy everything in your path — all around you are nothing but ruins. End the endless cycle, for it has long since closed in on itself.

It's all behind you now. What we used to call reality has shattered into shards of the past and images of the future. The final resting place on the ruins of a bygone world is made to answer the final question.

"Is a man capable of finding their way back?"

A confused wanderer, an empty and cold city, three girls with secrets of their own. This story will set the stage for a years-long journey in search of the truth.

This visual novel offers a unique experience of immersion in the last world, where you should try to heal the broken mind and find the real meaning of the events on the screen. Again and again you appear in an endless loop, the only way out of which is not so easy to find.

Gameplay:

Press the button, read the text, and make choices that will affect the course of events.

Features:

• Original melancholic soundtrack.

• Nice psychedelic backgrounds.

• Atmosphere of desperation.

• Three nice girls, each with her own story.
