About the Game

The night the world went blind, someone started counting the survivors.

November 2039, Port Alder, Washington. On a night of heavy rain, white light crosses the city. There is no blast, and no darkness falls. Sight is simply lifted out of everyone at once.

Twelve years later, the survivors live in Haven Seven: calm broadcasts, rations on schedule, and rules said to keep everyone alive. The only thing nobody discusses is the names that get "transferred."

You are Elias Ward, a former emergency-operations sound engineer, in a community held together by voices, touch and trust. Dig beneath the rules, and decide who has the right to choose sight for everyone else when the truth itself could hurt them all.

Features

• 5 endings: three final commitments, to sight, to memory and to power, with no single button that saves everyone.
