About

I started developping this idea and this project a long time ago. I put it sometimes on hold and continued it sometimes months/years later. Right now I'm close to complete the development, I am working with a graphist, mainly visual resources are missing and shall still be created and integrated within the game.
I created a crowfunding campaign (in order to pay the graphist for the rest of the work) for which, according to the rules, I can't put any link here since I haven't release any project before and can't offer a demo yet. Nonetheless, I wanted to share here the actual progression and edges of this project in order to collect feedbacks and potential advices.

Note: this VN is written in French in the first place an none of its content is currently available in English. Translating it is something I plan to do in the future though.

Synopsis

In recent years, people around the world have disappeared. Some reappear after a longer or shorter period of time while others have never returned. In any case, no one has ever been able or wanted to give a testimony that would shed light on the mystery. As a result, each country has adopted its own policy regarding these disappearances, some of which maintain the so-called “Miraculously Saved” in quarantine while others allow them to resume their lives.
Maksimilian has always lived in Russia. As soon as he finished school, he found himself working for the state, which was his dream and that of his parents. As the phenomenon of disappearances appears, and especially with the return of the first Miraculously Saved, a new unity is formed and set up. Maksimilian volunteered and was fortunate to be selected as one of the very first supervisors of quarantine unit DR-001. He is in charge of part of the patrols and ensures that security is not compromised.
