About This Game

The story unfolds from the perspectives of two women: one who travels through the ruins of a steampunk New York City, destroyed in an unexplained disaster some years before; and one who finds herself in an underground world with a purple sky, where the "vanished" city still stands.

You primarily follow Lily, a girl devoid of memories who sets off through the bizarrely transformed version of New York that lies deep underground. Determined to reach something hidden in the violet sky above, you travel through this dangerous world accompanied by an enigmatic young man known as A. In the course of your long and difficult journey, you'll meet many of the city's inhabitants, and fend off the attacks of strange and terrifying monsters.
What lies at the end of your path? How are you connected to the woman exploring the ruins on the surface? And why was New York destroyed? Your journey will unravel these mysteries and many more...
