Dear sister, it has been a year since you passed. Since that...thing took over you. I think you'd be happy to know that I found a safe place to be. A place where I'm alone. Away from any other human. You may think I'm lonely, and sometimes that's true, but do not worry! This is the way I can be safe, the only way to live!"

The world has pretty much ended. Those things...they showed up and just took over. Joanne has found a safe place to be, where she can be all alone. After all, you never know if what you're talking to is a human, or one of them. Luckly the radio still works, and for a while now you have been hearing the pleads for help of a stranger. Will you answer they call? And if you do, will you help them?

This game was made for Trijam 278 

This means I was meant to do this thing in 3 hours, excluding research time, itch page making and breaks. I didn't manage to finish it in time, and it in fact took me 6 hours. Still a very good time for a finished small visual novel. I could have done it in less, but I decided to polish it a little more since I already had gone overtime anyways.

About the builds

Unfortunately I don't have the means right now to test the game for linux and Mac. I included the renpy exports in case anyone wants to try it out. If you find any errors please inform me, I'll try to fix it. The web version should work for those users in case there are any issues with those builds.

Extras

For those who decide to support the game I left a little treat. It's a small printable for this zine called "Joanne's guide to the apocalypse". It's nothing super fancy, it's just a little gift for those who donate 2 dollars or more. It also includes a second pdf with folding instructions.

Unknown universe

This game is a part of the unknown universe series. All of the games in this series will take place in the same post apocalyptic world and feature the term Unknown in it's title, as a way to signal that they're all from the same universe. Currently there's one other game in this series, the Unknown Journal solo ttrpg.
