Atrocity

Atrocity is a visual novella that follows Robert, Joe and Andrew, whose lives become entangled in the seaside town of Aksaypolis. Each arrives for a different reason and at a different time, but dangerous mysteries and mystical forces put them at risk. To survive without losing control of themselves, they must work together against a pitiless power.

Aksaypolis

Aksaypolis is a provincial seaside town and one of the world’s oldest settlements. Before the wheel was invented, peoples whose names have been lost to history built sacrificial altars there for their rituals. Ancient Greeks later gave the town its name, and nomad tribes fought over control of the steppe as the town’s necropolis continued to grow.

In the 20th century, authorities sought to make Aksaypolis a modern industrial center. But no one ever lived in the new buildings or worked in the workshops of the huge, pentagram-shaped plant. Its skeletal structures now stand partly submerged in swampland, and locals have avoided the site for half a century.
