Nov. 2025
Athanasy is a highly overlooked and underappreciated GEM! I consider it to be the current FLAGSHIP of the entire BIOPUNK genre in gaming!! This visual novel game made by Russian Indie developers has masterfully incorporated the core of the genre. I always say that the Biopunk genre doesn't necessarily have to mean Biological Horror! The core of the genre has always been societal & ethical exploration of biotechnology. - With the mainstream popularity of the Cyberpunk genre that now stands apart the general Sci-Fi genre, the Biopunk word has been thrown around more often too nowadays. When talking about Biopunk games, people usually think of "Bioshock (2007)", "Prototype (2009)" or "Wrought Flesh (2021)". While I do not deny their part and inspirations, they do not fully embody the genre core. When I think Biopunk, games like "ATHANASY", "Scorn (2022)" and "Exit: A Biodelic Adventure (2024)" come to mind. Yes, Athanasy has horror elements, but it focuses more on post-humanist societal collapse and explores biology as an ideology! Bioshock may have incorporated the pure essence of the Biopunk philosophy but leaned more into sociopolitical tragedy than biology and hard science fiction. They (Bioshock/Prototype/Wrought Flesh) are action games first and foremost that simply use the genre as a backdrop setting because it is novel and cool. In that regard, I appreciate the absurd biological surrealism of "Exit" that is drenched in symbiosis and psychedelic art. Even the horror game Scorn offers a much deeper world with biomechanical/existential Giger-esque body horror. - Any other possible adjacent Biopunk games you can think off, fall in one of the previously mentioned categories, so I won't get into each one of them. The branching story paths, each explore a different aspect of the Biopunk genre. While on the 1st playthrough you might be left confused about many things, the more you explore then clearer the whole picture becomes. It is worth exploring every path, I don't regret it. Absolutely amazing. The game itself offers an amazing soundtrack and top notch sound effects. The scene art is beautiful and amazing, only wish character models would have been in the same style. The English translation was decent. I only encountered a SINGLE untranslated line in all the possible story paths! The writing was very introspective and mature but what stood out was the Russian writing style that is so easy to spot as they use a lot of unused words in modern English and global dictionaries. I wouldn't call it pretentious for using "hard/difficult" words but more akin to 1900s era English translations of Russian works from Dostoyevsky or Tolstoy. It may make this game a bit harder to get into and explains its forgotten niche status, but if you can work past that you will have an amazingly mature and solid story! (which may be too much for the modern 5-second attention span tiktok zoomer. ew) I am not that much into visual novel games, as it is hard to categorize them as games when they lack active gameplay. At this point I'd rather pick up a book. So when I encounter such an amazing concept, I expect a complete experience. Athanasy offers 4-12 hours which is around the standard size. I believe the game covered every possible aspect of the genre and having less or more would have been a detriment at this point. (Looking at you "VTM: Reckoening of New York" with its lacking 4 hours and "Umineko no Naku Koro ni" with its overwhelming 60-160 hours.) Until we get more Biopunk games, Athanasy is the quintessential Biopunk champion. Most definitely worth checking out!

It was so good that now that I've played all the endings, I still can't find the words to express my excitement. Thank you! It was a magnificent fifteen hours... A real "biopunk". I love these kinds of settings

I really enjoyed this VN, it impressed me right from the beginning! I immediately fell in love with the setting (sci-fi, biopunk, dystopian thriller/horror,..) and the intriguing plot kept me highly invested! I adore the different dimensions and twists of the plot and it was thrilling to learn about the lore. Although I believe that the writing could profit from more depth and specifications, especially when disclosing important information, to make the story feel fully complete. Also I would've loved more content in the endings but that's just due to my curiosity, I understand that the endings are open on purpose lol. Additionally there is a lot of well done artwork, which provides great help imagining the sceneries. Moreover the soundtrack is mesmerizing and very catchy! The overall ambience and vibe of the game are truly awesome and outstanding.

One of the best examples of "more than bargained for". I expected a cheesy mix of Everlasting Summer (which I despise and disgust) and Scorn (which I enjoyed, tho it's kinda bad, but not as bad as it's told to be); I got a "sapid" story with a reasonable amount of easter eggs (most of them are straightforward tho) about a world that isn't overflowed with modern audience's degeneracy. Writing, visuals, vibes are above average, solid B+.
