Nov. 2024

Very cool lore, beautiful graphics, extremely cool music, amazing atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Sept. 2024

Masterful blend of Yevgeny Zamyatin’s “We” and David Cronenberg’s cinematic vision. This game plunges players into a chilling dystopia where individuality is suppressed by a totalitarian regime. The narrative is rich with philosophical undertones. The game’s atmosphere is hauntingly immersive, with detailed environments that evoke a sense of unease and curiosity. Overall, “Athanasy” is a fantastic game that challenges players to think critically about society, technology, and the human condition. It’s a must-play for fans of dystopian fiction and psychological horror.

July 2024

Athanasy immerses you in a bleak sci-fi world where humanity survives beneath the Earth's surface. This visual novel explores mature themes and unsettling questions, depicting eternal life as a debilitating disease called athanasy. The narrative centers on characters divided between strict quarantine measures and a yearning for freedom outside the claustrophobic City. Power struggles and desperation pervade the story, highlighting the harsh realities of enforced immortality. The game features captivating storytelling with complex, morally gray characters, and presents players with tough, morally challenging choices that add depth and replayability. As a visual novel, Athanasy relies heavily on reading and dialogue, with limited interactive elements. Its unrelentingly dark tone may also be challenging for some players. Also keep in mind, to explore different story branches, you will need to reread many parts of the previously read story. If you enjoy narrative-heavy experiences that delve into mature, unsettling concepts, Athanasy could be a compelling choice. Those seeking lighthearted adventures or a focus on direct gameplay may want to look elsewhere.

>"Yeah dude this is a good Original English Language Visual Novel" >looks inside >russian despair porn Why are almost all of the good "western" "english" VNs made by russkies? I know why they are depressing - just one look at the streets of chelabynsk tells me all i need to also start thinking "maybe life is just all depression and shieeeet". Still, rant aside the VN is good... but i can't say much more without starting to rant about russia again - sorry, i'm just too Polish lol. 10/10 would eat my genetically modified neighbors again.

Buy this game. I can't express well enough how much I enjoyed exploring this world. It was well worth the multiple play-through loops to see the "what if" of all the different choices. You may have to use google translate for a panel or two of the less popular routes but it's still worth it to get a better understanding of the different aspects of existing in this world. I love Horse, what a little crazy oddball. I do recommend this game.
