Advent: Dawn

“There’s no signal. No escape. Something down here stirs... And one of us is certainly lying...”

In the year 2066, what was supposed to be a routine research expedition on a remote island turns into a nightmare. An unexpected collapse traps you deep underground with six others—but something about this place isn’t natural. What begins as a struggle for survival soon twists into something stranger. Whispers echo in the dark, and as suspicion spreads, questions mount: Who can you trust? Why does the cave feel... alive? And was this truly an accident?

Advent: Dawn is an emotive sci-fi mystery visual novel that weaves psychological suspense, emotional storytelling, and mythological undertones into a branching narrative with multiple endings. Inspired by genre classics like Zero Escape, Ever17, and Steins;Gate, this is a story-first experience designed for fans of gripping plots, high emotions and thought-provoking twists.

*Developer's Note: Advent: Dawn is set in the same universe as The VII Enigma, but it is a standalone title—you don’t need to have played the previous game to enjoy this one. That said, fans of our earlier games can expect some tie-ins and Easter eggs along the way.
