Archetype Arcadia

Sink into a dark visual novel full of sci-fi mystery. A deadly disease has wiped out most of the population by driving its sufferers to self-destruction. Two siblings search for survivors, but when one of them falls victim, you must enter a virtual world to save them.

Step into a dark, sci-fi visual novel set in a post-apocalyptic world where a mysterious disease called 'Peccatomania' has wiped out most of humanity. The story revolves around Rust and his sister, roaming empty lands and searching desperately for other humans alive. All other humans have supposedly fallen victim to this disease which causes those inflicted to suffer from insanity, sensory illusions, and uncontrollable self-destructive urges. The only way to control these symptoms is by spending time inside a virtual game called Archetype Arcadia.

Rust doesn't suffer from the disease, but when his sister who does mysteriously falls unresponsive one day, he must enter the virtually immersive game and navigate this unseen world to find a fix for his sister. Within the game exists a whole new world full of people and monsters. A world in which wearing a game device allows players to utilize powerful memories and corresponding avatars to fight each other. While this virtual existence supposedly delays the disease, it also carries severe consequences.
