Curator Review

Recommended
By 月骨星魂 October 29, 2021

“本作是一款双线倒叙并疯狂插叙的短篇视觉小说,讲述存在不死者的世界中,两名年轻的不死者从相遇开始的千年经历。主线故事在人类消失后的时间段不断回忆过去,支线故事则着眼于后末世时代两名少女的冒险,通过十九章的故事共同构建出一个面目全非的世界,与主角二人即使世界剧变也未曾消逝的爱。除了充满哲学思辨的真·相爱相杀故事,游戏音乐十分出彩,有配音,但分辨率低又过于狭长的CG、复古的UI令人头大,汉化质量倒是不错”

About This Game

Winter Polaris is the latest visual novel from the creators of Narcissu and Ame no Marginal -Rain Marginal-

This visual novel is comprised of two stories, "Winter Polaris" and "Sweeper Swimmer".

Winter Polaris


Present-day Tokyo.
One day, the news starts reporting of a mysterious "disease" that is sweeping the world. People who become afflicted are reported to "disappear into thin air". As civilization slowly succumbs to the disease and grinds to a halt, the protagonist decides to flee to the mountains in hopes of avoiding the disease.

Years later, after the whole world has seemingly disappeared, the protagonist finds himself alone. In search of potential survivors like himself, he returns the ruins of a city. There he meets a girl waiting for him. While strange in many ways, the most bizarre is how she declares that she is an immortal.

Just what did she want with him?

Sweeper Swimmer


Elena lives on a small rustic island in the sea, working as a courier by boat delivering cargo to nearby islands.
One day, after a storm, she heads off to make deliveries after a large storm passes overnight, she comes across a girl floating in the sea, luckily still just barely alive. Rescuing the girl from the water, the girl drops a mysterious glass object, one made with craftsmanship and technology beyond anything Elena recognized.

Where did this girl come from? And where did that glass come from?
