I don't know what I expected, but it certainly wasn't that. I was as interested in the mystery as our protagonist and, by design, fell into the route of the bad ending. Now not only was I invested in the initial mystery, but I had to know what the heck I'd just witnessed. This visual novel really isn't complete without seeing multiple endings, and I'm so glad I didn't stop after the first two I got. Most of the routes had something interesting to say, and I'm left with a lot to chew on. Coming to understand the world and what it meant is something that will stick with me for a while. There isn't much in the way of strong characters, but as a sucker for sci-fi and horror, the story doesn't feel lacking without it. Kind of feels like a slightly less depressing Song of Saya.
Very cool dystopian body horror VN. The plot is very good, as is the art, and there are a good number of endings to sample. A lot of the story paths overlap with each other and intersect at several plot points, so I didn't care to go for every ending. The story kind of jumps right into the universe and does a bit of worldbuilding before the real narrative begins, but the lore is very well thought out.
Athanasy is a visual novel taking place in a depressing dystopian society, existing within a city that's entirely separated from the rest of the world. The game's world hits us with two obstacles at once - a deeply totalitarian system, where a minor mistake leads you to a catastrophic fate, and horrific biopunk elements and body horror, where disfigurement and mutilation are a normal part of the system. This VN features choices, and they do begin to branch out from early on, leading to entirely different story paths. However, some of those story paths can be accessed again, and your first-time playthrough might vary differently. For example, one of the story paths could be accessed very early in the game, but that same story path can then happen much later into the game too. In the former case, you could end up missing a good 50% of the game's content. For this reason, I recommend to save your game just before each choice, and then try them all out. It's hard to predict which choice will "work out" in particular situations without you being taken in by the authorities. It helps to try out different paths in order to really get a grasp of what's going on and what happened in the past that brought the society in this city to where it is now. So as a result of the choices, there are multiple endings, and the fate of our character is drastically different in each. Art and visuals are generally good, especially the more grotesque images, and the music most times fits the atmosphere well enough. Despite the overall length of this VN is fairly short, at times some scenes can drag on, particularly in some dialogues or occasional monologues of the main character. But the VN kept my attention because of its responsiveness to choices and the overall world-building and disturbing concepts that were a part of it. The more I uncovered about this society, the more it unsettled me. This is the kind of dystopia that really gets under your skin, a dystopia done right.
This is a very interesting story. The endings are all pretty unique, your choices definitely matter to the final outcome. Creepy dystopian setting with a lot of mysteries to uncover. My playtime was on the shorter side, because I did not play every ending all the way through. The endings are mostly kind of dark, on my first playthrough I got an ending that was "reasonably good" and did not want to explore every worse ending. But I will say that every ending has a lot of unique story parts, and you can really only get the full picture by playing through a few of them. There's 9 endings, I played 6 of them. I would say it takes 3-4 playthroughs to get the full picture of what is really going on in the city.
Wow! What the actual f*** just happened?! First of all, the plot. I'm not gonna say too much, other than it is like if John Carpenter's "Thing" invaded the body of John Carpenter, who then went back in time and held Aldous Huxley at gunpoint inside of the Flesh that Hates gas fields, and told him to write the movie Equilibrium from memory. I'm pretty sure I got a bad, if not the worst ending. But I do know two key points where I went wrong. Save your progress after each decision is all I can say. There aren't that many, so it's not a big ask. The aesthetic is very cool. Very dystopian, biomechanical, yet somehow with a slightly retro feel. Everything in the world, as far as the illustrations, is just different enough to be unique to this story's universe, but recognizable enough to be understood for what it is. As just one of many examples, the attention to detail in the gym scene in phenomenal. The workout machines look very different, but barrel shaped under-knee pads are left in to give your brain something justrecognizable enough to grab on to. Even cooler, the landscape outside of the windows, being a digital rendition, shows signs of artifacting and screen tearing. And the pillar in the center at first glance just looks like a column of cement, but stop to focus on it for even a second, and you will see that is it some weird combination of synthetic and biological, melded together. Other than that, it was just a fun ride that I blasted through in one sitting. The characters are likeable and believable, the story is pretty crazy but nothing is out of place in world. From my playthrough, there was minimal plot contrivance or dead end sub plots. Normally, I play the fastest games imaginable, muscle memory twitch-fests that require a 20oz redbull and an addeall prescription. But occasionally I like to just sit back and chill, and not cause my eyes to bleed for a single place up on a leaderboard. This is definitely a good choice if you are looking for something like that. 8.4/10
