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 transgression 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 discovers a desolate Earth and encounters a girl burdened by a devastating mission: she's trapped in a cycle of repeated death and rebirth, perpetually atoning for humanity's sins. This relentless cycle, witnessed by Kyoya, inspires him to introduce her to the concept of happiness.
The narrative unfolds at a deliberate pace, initially slow-burning. However, this measured approach allows for impactful plot twists and reveals, giving significance to seemingly minor details.
Together We Live departs from traditional visual novels by eschewing player choices. Instead, it presents a linear interactive story enhanced by charming, albeit simple, artwork. The juxtaposition of beauty and sorrow creates a deeply moving experience.
The game features full voice acting for the female protagonist, adding 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.
Together We Live is a compelling visual novel that will stay with you long after the credits roll. Its unique blend of narrative style and emotional depth makes it a worthwhile experience for fans of the genre.
