Kemco's new visual novel, Together We Live, offers a poignant post-apocalyptic tale exclusively on Android. Already available on Steam, this narrative explores themes of human sin and the arduous path to redemption.
The story follows Kyoya, who awakens in a dimly lit room in the year 4000, two millennia removed from his last memory. He finds himself in a desolate wasteland, encountering a mysterious girl burdened by a heavy task.
This girl is trapped in a cycle of repeated death and rebirth, perpetually atoning for humanity's transgressions. Countless times she dies, only to be resurrected and begin the cycle anew. This brutal reality compels Kyoya to introduce her to the concept of happiness.
The narrative unfolds at a deliberate pace, initially slow-burning. However, as the story progresses, seemingly insignificant details intertwine to create impactful twists and turns.
Unlike many visual novels, Together We Live eschews player choices, presenting a linear, yet engaging narrative. The game features simple but appealing artwork, masterfully blending beauty and sorrow to create a deeply moving experience. The girl's fully voiced performance adds to the story's haunting atmosphere.
Currently available in English, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese, the game lacks controller support. It's priced at $9.99 on the Google Play Store, or free for Google Play Pass subscribers.
