Gameplay

Landscapes lay in darkness are lighted by bright, fluorescent objects. Apart from the purely aesthetic function, they also play an important role of sign posts, as the plot and the journey’s destination are not initially known and they are revealed as the game progresses. Depending on your choices that stress such values as love and devotion, you reach one of several endings of the story.
