About the Game

About

State of Presence is a point-and-click visual novel that toys with the concept of existence and physicality. Players will delve into the afterlife of Kacper Takarski as he copes with his untimely death and the new environment he's found himself in. Exploring an unfamiliar city, Kacper must string together the remnants of his past in order to understand what became of him.

Uncover forgotten memories and previously-unknown correlations by bouncing between physical and liminal spaces. Kacper isn’t the only one here. It's up to you to balance the drama of his newfound relationships alongside the ones haunting him from his life prior. Even if the truth of days long gone comes to light, how will you shape the future?
