You're stuck on a train for who-knows-how-long with your ex-friends from high school. You're all still very bitter about what happened, and it seems like fate really wanted you to suffer by putting you in this situation with them, of all people. Do your best to survive alongside them, as each person brings challenges from your past into the present.

Please read the warnings below.



15k+ words (full game, around 5k right now)

Meaningful choices: Each thing you do, whether it be through dialogue choice or scavenging and rationing, influences characters and their ability to survive

Replay value: While you can achieve most of the story and learn what happened to the cast within your playthrough, more context is given in contradictory story paths.

Could you please post an endings guide? I just don't understand the mechanics of this game. How much do I have to give these gluttons for them to like it and make to the end? 

I give them 0.2, it's not enough for them. I give them 0.5, it's not enough for them. I give them 1 liter, it's not enough for them! Four people can survive on 1 liter for a several days, but they have 1 liter per person. I don't understand.

I'd also like to know how to open unavailable MC's dialogue. Right now, I can only "stay silent" or "protect Crystal." I'd love to know what the hell is causing this group of friends to fight. So I really need a walkthrough, thanks!

0.8 is the amount each person needs to keep full HP. 0.4 gets rid of 25 points if their health, and any lower gets rid of 50 points. I will post an ending guide in the future, but to unlock that option and thus the route it goes down, you HAVE to feed everyone something on day 1 and also not take Nathan’s knife.

Okay, this game is so cool! I love the dynamic of survival and the gradual understanding of what happened to the characters. But also as a fan of complex relationships in visual games, I have to ask... can we romance the characters? Or is this game purely about survival? Thank you!
