Enter a truly memorable story full of choices and branching outcomes both big and small, all of which carry over to the game's sequel(s).

Meet unforgettable characters, all with their own fleshed out personalities and agendas.

Stay connected to the Dwellers and Denizens of the afterlife via the PurgaPhone! Send and receive messages, with many of them unique to the choices you make.

Partake in two different character romance routes (Bliss & Apechs), as well as a number of exciting side stories that further develop the world, and watch as their outcomes change the main narrative in meaningful ways.

Bop your head to a dynamic soundtrack composed by popular YouTube artist Endigo.
