Description
End of Lines is an interactive graphic novel, set in the near future. Following a climate-induced apocalypse, a group of survivors centered around a small family wanders in the devastated countryside of Southern Europe, looking for a livable place to settle. The sky is red. Or is it? The air’s so hot it feels red. When did it stop being blue? A battered old paper with words I can’t read and lines that fade and melt across the tears and folds. Lines that guide us towards hope. The hope of a welcoming land. And yet, we don’t know what we’ll find beyond the map. Where the lines end. Each choice matters: manage the supplies and the morale of your group in a ruthless environment where death may be encountered at any time. A poignant vision of what may lie ahead: the story is set at the end of the 21st century, in a world where nothing has been done to counteract climate change. A family unit at the core: follow Camille, Nora, their son Sam, the lively “Uncle” Rafik and the diverse cast of characters they befriend on the trail. A beautifully illustrated storybook: with each playthrough, experience a novel-sized adventure and a portion of the hundreds of hand-painted illustrations created for the game. An immersive and finely-crafted soundtrack.
