Description
The world ended on the day the bombs fell. Since then, it's always been like this: disease, hunger, death.
What's left of the people scavenge for existence under the unfeeling gaze of the elegant, masked Aristocracy. Green Lung scourges the population, only briefly held at bay by the precious vaccine - and there's never enough to go around.
Amy Wellard is a young mechanic drawn into the covert war between the forces of the Aristocracy and the mysterious, brutal rebel Danton. Can she play both sides - or will she be forced to choose? Is Danton right that the Aristocracy are hiding something important - and if so, what?

Ratings and Reviews
Genuine, beautiful and sad
A genuine game made by genuine people. Outstanding voice acting from a rich cast of actors (I laughed so much at the bloopers!), and in the end I was really sad to leave Amy and the others, to whom I got really attached without realising it.
The world is beautiful and melancholic, but also surprisingly dark and gruesome at some key points. The main character is very likeable, but that might be subjective.
Story might feel a bit stretched here and there, but overall it’s a beautiful journey. Only complaint might be that I would have loved a slightly longer experience, but considering the size of the team what they’ve done is incredible - I was shocked when I read the ending credits.
5/5 would recommend.
Nice and long but a bit too easy?
The premise is very close to the knuckle of what is going on at the moment but makes our current situation look fun and cute in comparison..
Lots of different places to explore and lots of storyline without too much unnecessary dialogue.
Good voice acting and nothing irritating about it..
Fun retro style point and click with very dark notes.
Negatives
Objects tend to find their place very quickly within the place they are used so little backwards and forwards but with that, no real challenge to be found. Arguably one or two ‘puzzles’ to solve with so much heavy hinting to ensure the idiots playing don’t miss anything.
Linear playing style until the very end so different endings can be achieved just by replaying the final
moments.
Worth a try 100% and the storyline and length is good enough to keep going. Maybe next time give us point and click fans a bit of credit.. don’t worry we enjoy using an object on every single thing in every scene available over and over. It’s what we do..
One of the best games I have played!
This game is truly exceptional with outstanding voice acting, excellent story and logical goals to pursue. I was completely engrossed in it and played every single day for quite long time as it is a very long game. I cannot recommend this game highly enough!
I have played so many of the top adventure games on the store and to be honest, this is the only truly memorable one.
