Kemco has released an intriguing new visual novel exclusively for Android titled "Together We Live," which delves into a profound narrative set in a post-apocalyptic world. This game, already available on Steam for PC, explores themes of human sins and the arduous journey of atonement.
A Girl Atoning for Humans’ Sins
The story follows the protagonist, Kyoya, who embarks on a surreal journey. He awakens in a dimly lit room to discover it's the year 4000, nearly 2000 years after his last memory. The Earth has transformed into a desolate wasteland, and the only other presence is a mysterious girl who becomes his guide and confidante.
This girl is trapped in a relentless cycle, dying repeatedly to atone for humanity's sins—dozens, hundreds, thousands of times. Each resurrection marks the beginning of her suffering anew. The brutality of her existence stirs Kyoya, compelling him to teach her about happiness.
The narrative pacing may initially seem slow, but as it unfolds, the story's twists, turns, and seemingly minor details become crucial, enriching the experience.

Together We Live Makes You Think
Unlike many visual novels, "Together We Live" does not rely on player choices. Instead, it offers a straightforward interactive story with simple yet captivating art. The blend of beauty and melancholy in the narrative is profoundly moving.
The girl's character is fully voiced, adding a haunting yet fitting depth to the experience. Currently, the game is available in English, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese, with no controller support. You can purchase it on the Google Play Store for $9.99, or play it for free if you have a Play Pass.
