Sona-Nyl of the Violet Shadows Refrain is a story-driven game told from the perspectives of two women. One travels through the ruins of a steampunk New York City, destroyed in an unexplained disaster years earlier. The other finds herself in an underground world beneath a purple sky, where the vanished city still stands.

Lily's journey

You primarily follow Lily, a girl with no memories who sets out across the transformed New York underground. Accompanied by an enigmatic young man known as A, she tries to reach something hidden in the violet sky above. Along the long and difficult journey, you meet the city's inhabitants and fend off attacks from strange, terrifying monsters.

The story follows the mysteries of what lies at the end of Lily's path, how she is connected to the woman exploring the surface ruins, and why New York was destroyed. The disaster changed both the city and its residents. The people Lily meets have each suffered and been altered in their own way, but continue to pursue their own goals; some may help her, some may oppose her, and others may teach her valuable lessons.

The world of New York

The game features steampunk devices powered by eldritch science. They were invented by historical geniuses who tapped into things from beyond that were never meant to be understood.
