The Remainder: Act 1

The Remainder: Act 1 is a dark fantasy visual novel about Vyn, a High Magus who wakes in a collapsing tower with no memory. Ilar, a silver-tongued mage trapped there with Vyn, says a desperate ritual is keeping Vyn alive, but Ilar’s story keeps changing—and Vyn keeps dying.

Uncover the truth

Each death reveals a fragment of memory and another clue to the mystery. Vyn and Ilar may have been colleagues, lovers or enemies, but the more Vyn learns, the less certain their past becomes. You read between the lines, explore for clues and use hands-on deduction to break the death loop and set them both free. The story’s structure makes each playthrough reveal new layers.

Choices and endings

The visual novel contains 172,000 words and takes 8–40 hours to read. Over 500 choices lead through more than 50 false endings and three true endings. Optional romance paths include a nonbinary love interest and can be avoided entirely.

Other characters

A cat that does not care whether you live or die, an adorable eel friend and an angry potato also feature in the story.
