Description

You awake suspended in a warm, primordial soup with no idea who, what or where you are.
Breaking free from your watery dwelling, you find yourself in a secluded valley with no sign of life.
A path zigzags out before you, illuminating three myserious buildings and a giant looming tower.
Filled with an unmistakable curiosity, you venture out to the mighty CITADEL to discover the answers to your existence.

The path will not be easy.
There will be difficult choices to make, and harsh truths to accept.
Keep the future in mind as your stumble ahead into the darkness.

CITADEL is a philosophical science-fiction visual novel that explores ideas of identity, morality and existential discovery.
Blending speculative fiction with a reflective narrative, CITADEL focuses on meaningful choices, atmospheric worldbuilding and a slow-burn mystery.
