The game revolves around a group of three friends who are living in post-apocalyptic like circumstances. Food is scarce and safety isn’t guaranteed. The world has changed greatly from the one we know now. Luckily, the group managed to find an old warehouse with a kitchen stocked full of tinned food. Enough to keep them going for a few weeks.
As they live together in this warehouse the relationships between them start to deteriorate. You, the player, will have to intervene at key moments and choose the right actions for the good of the group. Each of your friends will have a ‘morale level’ which indicates how they are feeling in relation to your choices. There will be branching stories depending on the choices you make. The morale level for each friend will also determine the ending of the game.
Sometimes you will need to make immoral choices which may sacrifices the safety of others so your friends may live. But who decides what is immoral in a world without the old rules of society? Can a wrong action done with good intentions really make you evil? Does doing something bad to help the people you love really make you a monster?
Wow! Another narrative game :D I really loved the theme, and... it seems like whatever you do, lie or tell the truth, everyone gets screwed over. The morals are really very grey in this story.
Liked the dialogs. They are seem really smooth and "depth" sometimes. It will be cool thou to add some more graphical feedback and guide a player more through game. Or something like that. GJ
I liked that your choices had an impact on the ending, and that there was a level of strategic decision as well as 'moral' decision. Loved the art style. Would like to see the game expanded with more locations
Wow, I really liked this! The audio, while minimal, added a lot of mood. The way it all came together definitely captured the essence of hopelessness. Reminds me of The Road.
This is a nice little narrative game, I like how it plays. There are some typos though: extra words or chars, some words are missing - nothing serious, but it gets in the way a little. Still a nice thing overall, congrats!
It's rather odd to use Unity as a game engine to build a visual novel, but I definitely enjoyed this entry! Thought it was well-written, especially in the consistencies each character had (even though they were, admittedly, regular post-apocalyptic character archetypes). Got pretty intense with the ending!
I really enjoyed that, didn't know you were taking part in Ludum Dare :) I felt like a right monster, especially cos I was the only one left alive and I didn't know where the others were :(

I would have liked to have more opportunities to make decisions. Also, the moral didn't seem to do anything from what I could tell.
A good adventure in the apocalypse anyway.
But: I didn't think of myself as the monster. I did all the right good nice things. Which obviously turned out awfully. But I'm monster-free!
Still a nice thing overall, congrats!
