Record_DrowsyVortex

RECORD_DrowsyVortex is a post-apocalyptic exploration RPG set on Drowsy Vortex, a planet in the Space Immigration Era that has suffered a devastating natural disaster. You play as a survivor who becomes an investigator on the planet’s last remaining land, taking investigation commissions and running errands while the survivors try to live peacefully through mutual support. The game presents the protagonist’s strange and memorable story as recorded data transmitted from the planet centuries later.

Story and world

Daily life initially seems ordinary in a world where everyone relies on space suits. Then a huge, abnormal creature appears on the last habitable land. The survivors gradually accept that it is harmless and grow used to its presence, but other increasingly strange situations begin to intrude on the protagonist’s life. You investigate what happened on Drowsy Vortex and uncover the truths hidden there, as the story blurs the boundary between collapsing perception and reality.

Exploration and survival

You explore detailed maps, take daily tasks and pursue the hidden plot behind the story. The game focuses on the survival and psychological states of natural-disaster survivors, and your ultimate goal is to survive, reach your destination and find the last truth. The journey also includes a short text adventure set in another space, with a weirdcore style, and a Lovecraftian creature to deal with.

Characters and content

All human-shaped characters have masked or object-headed appearances, or both. The project combines a game with a book and other forms of design to present the historical background of the Space Immigration Era from different perspectives; its book content is designed in detail. Battles use a simple process.
