About This Game

State of Presence is a point-and-click visual novel that toys with the concept of existence and physicality. Players will delve into the afterlife of Kacper Takarski as he copes with his untimely death and the new environment he's found himself in. Exploring an unfamiliar city, Kacper must string together the remnants of his past in order to understand what became of him.

Uncover forgotten memories and previously-unknown correlations by bouncing between physical and liminal spaces. Kacper isn’t the only one here.
