Reflections of the Void

Reflections of the Void is a philosophical visual novel blending drama and science fiction. You are the Keeper, responsible for caring for your wards, following orders and maintaining order in a house cut off from the outside world. Each day brings new directives, and breaking the rules may cost you your life.

The house and its orders

The routine begins to unravel when a new ward arrives: the first adult ever sent to a Keeper. She brings doubt and challenges what you have been told to accept. You must decide what to do as questions arise about what the orders conceal, why you cannot leave the house and who you were before becoming the Keeper.

The story takes place in a post-apocalyptic universe broader than it first appears. Its atmosphere is marked by solitude, cold and quiet mystery. What happens can be read as a dark story, a psychological drama or a reflection on life and death, love and the cost of survival.

Choices and consequences

You choose which doors to open and which characters to spend time with. Your decisions shape both the dialogue and later events, and may lead to the death of your character or another character; no one is immortal.

A romantic storyline centers on an ambiguous, slightly strange girl. Winning her over depends on understanding her thoughts and why she acts as she does.

A story of repeating lives

The game also tells of a boy whom mirrors cannot recognize, who becomes a shadow and an echo of his past and future selves, and a girl who is a light dividing the shadows of time and holding his present together. They meet again and again across worlds, but only the girl remembers all his shadows: their love, hatred and the goodbyes that end each cycle.
