Om spillet

Atlas Ablaze is a visual novel that follows a girl named Andi as she discovers how it feels to yearn to know someone the way you know yourself. It's a story about a coming of age, sonder feelings and simply owning up to being human.

She's a 16 year old who finds herself falling in love with a young sex worker as she's simultaneously dealing with a sharp decline in her mental health. A little behind other kids her age, her lack of experience in relationships not only affects her love life, but her friendships as well. As she begins to understand how it feels to care for people so much that love becomes your crutch, she also realizes just how many people care for themselves more than anyone else.

Acting as somewhat of a subconscious or an imaginary friend, you can help Andi make choices in her day to day life, influencing the way she interacts with the people around her. There are many different characters you can meet, some of which have secrets to be discovered. 2017 era humor contrasts the darker undertones of the story, every childhood crushing horror followed up with a few raunchy jokes. If you love friendly banter, well timed dirty jokes, self aware cringe content or overseeing actual dumpster fires, living inside Andi's mind might be exactly what you need.
