About This Game

Emi is a small girl born into a world that has known nothing but war. At birth, each person is assigned a role — hers is soldier. But Emi is curious and wanders where she is not supposed to go. One day she meets the Keeper, an ancient creature that carries memories of what the world was like before the fighting began. Together they journey to uncover lost history. The most dangerous thing they will find is the truth. The game was developed as a personal creative project by a developer using symbolism and fantasy to process experiences with childhood abuse.
