In the ashes of a ruined world, hope for salvation exists only in old legends.
A religious cult in a distant village suffers from a devastating disease.
They believe their lives could be saved by the healing power of a mysterious flower that grows deep within a dark, terrifying forest.
Picked by fate — or by cruel providence — a desperate squad of chosen ones is forced to embark on a journey where every step may be their last. All for the sake of salvation... to find and reach the Fern Flower.
But they will suffer not only from the poisoned air and the cursed post-apocalyptic nature. Fear, doubt, and loss loom over them, threatening to darken their path and hide the right way.
Will these doomed souls have a chance to survive the journey through the forest? Or will the chase for the Fern only bring them into new danger?

This was such a cool little experience! The art style is so unique and gorgeous, and I was absolutely gripped by the story! I also love the characters appearing as dark silhouettes with red eyes, very cool stylistic choice!
Thank you so much! We’re really happy to hear the story drew you in — and it’s amazing to know the visual style resonated with you too!
Stunning visuals, simple yet effective. Very tense and eerie atmosphere
Thanks for playing our game! :)
That was SO hard-hitting! The story telling is impeccable! The art is eye catching and yet the suitableness in the details REALLY make it come alive! The script that is read in this game jumps off the screen in a way that it pulls you in more and more with each passing word! Incredible.
We’re truly amazed by your emotional review of our game!
So happy you enjoyed this thrilling journey!
Thank you so much! :)))

This game is amazing and super well done!
We’re incredibly grateful for the live playthrough of our game! So happy to see you enjoyed it! :)
I loved the art, the story, and the unsettling atmosphere in the game. Also, what is with the abandoned research room at the end of the game?
Huge thanks for playing our game live! We’re so happy you enjoyed it! :)))
We’ll reveal more about the research room in the extended version of the game — stay tuned! :)
Are you thinking of maybe continuing the story? I am curious about the lore behind it all and I think it has a lot of potential! Congrats on making such a well made game
Thanks a lot! We’ve definitely thought about continuing the story and maybe adding some new mechanics. There’s so much lore and so many ideas that didn’t make it into the game, we’d love to bring them to life :)
So well made! The artstyle was beautiful to look at, the textbox menus and UI were super clean and the story was so sad and atmospheric. overall very professional and a game i would buy on steam tbh. Amazing work!
Wow! Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! We’re really glad you enjoyed the game. Maybe one day we’ll bring an improved version to Steam! :)

I really love the artwork and especially admire your creativity with the pretty colour choices and animated avatars (they must have taken so long to do).

Immersive, frightening, but also beautiful. I love the aesthetic of the game and the eerie atmosphere
Thanks for playing our game! :) We’re very happy you appreciate the atmosphere — that’s something we put a lot of heart into :)))
Amazing, but now I'm scared for life :>
