You have awoken encased in flesh, your systems long-defunct and inoperable. In your slumber, your world has come to an end, and the only weapon left in your arsenal is your host: a young woman named Claire.
Her body lies dormant but her mind runs active. A lifetime cycling endlessly. An engineered nightmare designed to rend a species of its teeth in perpetuity.
It’s your responsibility to suffer with her. To investigate and prod the seams of reality until the cracks begin to show.
But on the other side of everything... will you still be there for her?
When you support us, you're supporting a lifeblood project.
- We’re a visual novel at our core. That means you're in for a story-rich experience where your choices, priorities, and preferences will matter.
- But we're also a game-hybrid. Inspired by the meaningful environments and charming interactions of OMORI, we recently began introducing hub-worlds into our project. Explore side-stories, special events, and recruit optional characters to Claire's party.
- With full voice acting. We’re working with an A-team of voice actors to bring our characters to life.
- Hand-drawn animation. Monumental story events will receive hand-drawn animated sequences.
- And animated CGs. Every CG produced is also animated to bring further depth to our world.
The Earth is long dark, and the mega-city of Len is haunted by the loss of its hundreds of millions. Forced from the cradle of humanity, twelve co-dependent colonies cast a vast ring across the galaxy. A civilization built on the back of unprecedented calamity.
But there is no escape from this brand of apocalypse which plagues us. And what was once the final bastion of our species is now our everlasting skeleton.
One body, multiple realities.
At one end you'll know Claire as she wanted to be. You'll experience her day to day life safe within the boundary of Inner-Len, and you'll know all about her dreams, her plans to build a better life for everyone.
And on the other end, you'll experience what her many failures will soon bring. How important her every choice was. And how little time she had to make them.

Claire is a gentle and soft-spoken soul. Her only want from this life is to build a future where her Brothers and Sisters can live in harmony under a blue sky. She detests the cramped corridors of her creation, and yearns for something greater for everyone.
Designated an Essential electrical engineer by The Directorate, Claire has been stationed in Inner-Len for several years. She finds the mystique of Outer-Len captivating, causing her to consistently violate preservation orders. This deviation in her behaviour has made her an expert at salvaging ancient tech, and has recently caused her to become an avid reader. Some say she’s even begun writing her own poetry.

Ceana is a unique and lively individual. She has a passion for life, and inspiring others. She dreams of a day where flowers and music of her design flood the streets of the ruined city.
Originally meant to be one of Claire's work partners, Ceana failed all qualifications. As Ceana did not earn her place, and is not of Essential APECS status, she is not respected among the Essentials she shares the halls with. Her usual upbeat attitude keeps this from phasing her, but her mistreatment greatly bothers Claire.

Asai is a ruthless artificial intelligence designed to combat the worst possible scenarios. After failing in its directive to protect the mega-city of Len, the entity breached all quarantine attempts and now remains inactive in the ruins of its former home.
Survival is in thrall to unity. The final bastion of humanity. The means of reproduction seized, a population biologically engineered for a singular purpose.
For a bright future on Earth.
APECS Security Inc. is a former mega-corporation and the last known vestige of our species. As the only surviving strain of humanity, the survival of their members can be attributed to heavy genetic modifications and an insect-like command structure.
Inner-Len:
A drop of life in an ocean of dead. Inner-Len is a small community of Essential APECS members working in tandem to bring their capital city, and eventually their world, back from the dead.
Outer-Len:
The APECS mega-city once home to hundreds of millions. While never officially acknowledged by APECS, it is widely assumed by the presence of SPEAR squads in Inner-Len that hostile life persists in the ruined city.
The Colonies:
A society built among the stars. Each colony was created with their own predefined purpose, and is capable of housing hundreds of millions.
