About This Game

And in its very depths, amid lights gone out forever and streets fallen silent for good, there stood a city whose cold light could barely pierce the veil of the blizzard.

Hlasov. The twenty-fifth year after the Exodus.

Since the Exodus, children have been born with a veil upon their faces and no soul. They are called the Hollow. Victor Cassette was the first to place a human soul in one of the Hollow, and gave hope to every generation to come. The present one had to pay for it, though: to give one person a soul, you have to take it from another. These days, souls are the business of the ECHO Corporation.

AMEN: The Quiet Exodus is a gothic visual novel about a city where faith in progress has replaced faith in God.

Ilaya Cassette is twenty-four. She considers herself a defective product and is desperately trying to diagnose the fault, unaware that it has long since become an inseparable part of the fragile mechanism she calls herself. Now and then the Veil surfaces on her face, just as it does on the Hollow. Why that happens, Ilaya will have to find out for herself.

Ilaya often has to decide on the spot, and the others remember how she treated them. Your answers determine how those around her will regard her, and what is more, your actions affect the fate of an entire city.

• Daemon Veres. Possessor of a soul that is real, yet steeped in darkness. Equally versed in science and scripture, he despises the faithful of both.

• Cassian Tess. The ideal product. A dubious heir, yet an exceptionally good man.

• Dakota Schwartz. The big sister. A small cog in a vast machine. A desired victim and an impenetrable shield.
