Meet Lucia. You're probably wondering how she
okay, okay - you're probably not wondering that. She certainly is though; she tends to do it far too much. Today, she's had a funny idea: it includes, among other things, capturing a person in a pretty consensual, laidback, entirely safe manner to have a drawn out conversation about, like...God, the moral bankruptcy of 1900s psychological studies...anime maybe?
If that sounds trite on its face, well, perhaps it is. What ensues though is an event unheard of on the Last World, the world located most closely to the end of the universe and the last one we are ever likely to get in this lifetime. It is a leisurely trip through a maze with jagged edges. It becomes a commentary upon commentary as commentators gather to gawk and speculate about a series of events no one can really firmly understand.
And what the hey: you stick around after the end, we got romance, thrills, chills, and things it would be impolitic to talk about as a lead-in to an adventure through comforting environs with a witch and her agenda.
This VN was made for the Menhera VN Jam on itch.io, "menhera" referring to "mental healthers" or people who have to deal with their mental health throughout their day to day lives. It is usually a kind of aesthetic, almost fashionable, stylish, but it may be that my take on it is not particularly stylish or fashionable. I can say I did at least go for an aesthetic.
cw: sexual assault / rape (of monkeys), analogies about child torture, solitary confinement, animal abuse, prisons, clinical trials/animal experimentation, religious delusions/fixation/obsession. apologies for these and any missed triggers leading up to this game's release; it was not written with anything but the best of intentions by every subject covered herein.
