Kemco has released a new visual novel exclusively on Android: Together We Live. This poignant story unfolds in a post-apocalyptic world, exploring themes of human sin and the arduous journey of atonement. PC players can already experience this narrative on Steam.
A Girl Atoning for Humanity's Sins
Together We Live introduces us to Kyoya, whose journey begins unexpectedly. He awakens in a dimly lit room, only to discover it's the year 4000—nearly two millennia from his last memory. Earth is a desolate wasteland, and his only guide is a mysterious girl burdened by an incredibly heavy mission.
This girl is trapped in a brutal cycle of death and rebirth, repeatedly atoning for humanity's sins. She dies, is reborn, and repeats this agonizing process countless times. Witnessing her suffering, Kyoya is moved to try and teach her about happiness.
The narrative's pacing might feel slow initially, but once it gains momentum, the twists, turns, and seemingly insignificant details from earlier become profoundly significant.
