About This Game

Our Codependency, Until We Reach the Shore of Nirvana

To protect the world's last Buddha Relic, Ketumati State has endured centuries of relentless bombardment.

Two war orphans──Gesang and Udum──both lost their memories in an air raid.

Supporting each other through hardship, they faintly sense a past connection and choose to face the escalating war together.

However, the strange illness known as "Gestalt Collapse" and a chain of inexplicable mysteries all but doom the people of the Age of Declining Dharma to a tragic fate.

Game Overview

The Sound of the Conch in the Age of Declining Dharma is a visual novel themed around Buddhist philosophy and mythology.
