Eden Without Adam

The censorship fight that started America's civil war never really ended; it just kept escalating until China invaded, then Russia, then North Korea decided to bomb everyone at once. What's left of humanity agreed on exactly one rule during World War Three: no nukes. It didn't save them from what came next.

A decade after the fighting stopped, the world is still broken. Power is gone almost everywhere, communication is gone, and most survivors are holed up in bunkers or scattered fossil-fuel outposts. Nobody agrees on where the outbreak came from, whether it rode back on one of Delon Flask's Mars rockets or got loose some other way, but everyone agrees it's the reason the search for a cure matters more than the war ever did.

You follow a male protagonist trying to get by in this quiet, picked-over version of Earth, where the visual novel's teasing moments are less a distraction than a break from how grim everything else is. It's built for mobile play, told through 3D renders rather than animation, and it's still early: this is a rewrite of the game, with the fuller story yet to land.
