Kemco has just released a captivating new visual novel exclusively for Android devices, titled "Together We Live." This game unfolds a profound narrative set in a post-apocalyptic world, delving into themes of human sins and the arduous journey of atonement. While it's freshly launched on Android, it's also available on Steam for PC players.
A Girl Atoning for Humans’ Sins
The story follows protagonist Kyoya, who embarks on a peculiar journey. He awakens in a dimly lit room to discover it's the year 4000, nearly 2000 years after his last memory. The Earth has transformed into a desolate wasteland, and Kyoya is greeted by a mysterious girl who becomes his only source of information. This girl is no ordinary companion; she's trapped in a relentless cycle of death and rebirth, each time dying to atone for humanity's sins—a cycle that has repeated dozens, hundreds, thousands of times.
Her plight is heart-wrenching, and as Kyoya witnesses her suffering, he feels compelled to teach her about happiness. The narrative might start off at a slow pace, which could be a bit disorienting initially. However, once the story gains momentum, the twists, turns, and seemingly minor details from earlier become significant, enriching the overall experience.

"Together We Live" stands out from typical visual novels by offering a linear, interactive story without the need for player choices.

Currently, the game is available in English, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese, but there is no controller support. You can purchase it on the Google Play Store for $9.99, or if you're a Play Pass subscriber, you can enjoy it for free.
