About the Game



What Remains is an eerie visual novel with a truly branching narrative inspired by Ukrainian folklore.

You wake up to the sound of hooves. Goat, Bear, and Granny invite you to carol in the village in nowhere. It awaits your first choice.



To break the silence, you knock on the first door.



Decide the villagers' fate. Save one, condemn another. Prevent someone's insanity or descend into your madness. Set the village in flames or freeze it in a grueling winter.



It's a story about the weight of your whisper, word, and thought. What you do matters, and what you don't matters even more.

Go on, dear guest. Make what is the easiest and the hardest to make—choices.
