The Protagonist

The Protagonist is a narrative-driven psychological experience about Varon Ormir, a lost soul following a mysterious signal through frozen underground ruins and the memories of a daughter he thought long gone. Six centuries after Stillwake extinguished the sun, humanity survives beneath the ice while Earth remains in darkness. When a faint radio signal speaks in his daughter’s voice, Varon descends into a labyrinth of ice, faith and memory, where the boundary between life and death slowly dissolves.

Story and setting

Humanity’s underground colonies are divided by belief and isolation, while the surface is silent and forgotten. The story unfolds through fragmented memories, symbolic environments and voice performances, exploring grief, memory, guilt, forgiveness, isolation and hope.

Explore the ruins

There is no combat or weaponry. You navigate surreal spaces where the world reflects Varon’s inner descent, discovering the story through exploration and atmosphere. The game is designed as a focused, 2-hour experience to be played in one sitting.

Sound and atmosphere

An original soundtrack shifts between beauty and despair, accompanying a soundscape and voice acting that convey grief, longing and fragile hope.
