A post‑apocalyptic visual novel centering on humanity, violence and faith. In the wasteland where human civilization has collapsed and all order crumbled, what conflicts and connections will arise from the encounter of a handful of survivors? Is death the end? And how shall a new world dawn?
牧羊人 Shepherd
SteamIn 2050, the Earth was plagued by frequent and extreme natural disasters. Dozens of earthquakes, tsunamis, tornadoes and other catastrophes struck in a single day, rendering the planet uninhabitable.
This abrupt and unrelenting upheaval seemed like a defensive response: humanity, with its unrestrained development, had become a kind of virus to the Earth.
In response, humanity set out to build a Noah’s Ark for extraterrestrial migration. However, environmental degradation accelerated far too rapidly. The technology was incomplete when the ark was forced to launch. It crashed before breaking through the atmosphere. Only a tiny number of cryogenic pods survived intact, remaining dormant until their scheduled wake-up—200 years later.
A mysterious lamb is the first to step onto this silent and “renewed” Earth.
