About This Game

🕊️ The Protagonist

A haunting descent into memory, silence, and the frozen remains of a broken world.

In the frozen silence of a dead Earth, memories are the only thing that still burn.
The Protagonist is a narrative-driven psychological horror experience set 635 years after the sun died.
You play as Varon Orimir, a shattered soul chasing a mysterious radio signal through the ice-entombed ruins of a forgotten civilization — a voice that sounds like his long-lost daughter.

🎮 Gameplay & Mechanics

• No combat — only choices, consequences, and memories.
  The game focuses on exploration, symbolic decision-making, and memory-based puzzles in a surreal and ever-changing world.

• Radio as your lifeline
  A mysterious walkie-talkie delivers fragmented voice messages — some helpful, some deceptive. Which voices will you trust?

• Fractured environments
  Traverse subterranean sanctuaries, abandoned shrines, and hallucinatory therapy rooms that visually shift with your mental state and past decisions.

• An unforgettable emotional story
  Dive deep into a story about grief, guilt, and the longing for redemption, told through distorted memories, symbolic spaces, and chilling voice-overs. Every step brings you closer to a painful truth — or a comforting lie.

🧠 Story & Themes

Centuries after the sun’s collapse — an event known as Stillwake — Earth is a frozen wasteland. The remnants of humanity survive deep underground, clinging to geothermal warmth and flickering hope.

You are Varon Orimir, a former NOVA pilgrim burdened by an unspeakable past.
When a voice on the radio echoes the words of your missing daughter, you descend into a world where memories lie, reality fractures, and truth is a choice.

💡 What Makes It Unique

• Emotionally intense, voice-driven narrative
  Most of the story unfolds through atmospheric exploration, ambient audio, and fragmented radio dialogue — blurring the line between memory and madness.

• Worlds that reflect your mind
  The game’s environments twist and distort based on your psyche, your decisions, and your inner state.

• Post-apocalyptic silence, not action
  No weapons. No combat. Just you, your thoughts, and a dying world that remembers everything you’ve done.
