The Sundew

The Sundew is a point-and-click adventure set in a dystopian future shaped by a devastating war. You play as Anna Isobe, a cybernetically enhanced cop in Shibukawa, Japan, in 2054. As cyborgs fall out of favour and drones and automata replace them, Anna continues her duty to protect and serve. What begins as an ordinary day draws her into a growing conspiracy that could put the fate of humanity in her hands.

Anna’s investigation

You guide Anna through Shibukawa and beyond as she searches for the truth behind the conspiracy. The journey takes her from the city’s backstreets to far-flung isles and a notorious prison on the Steppe. Along the way, she encounters a diverse cast of characters, each with their own secrets and history.

Choices and consequences

Alongside its point-and-click gameplay, The Sundew asks you to make choices that change humanity’s future. The decisions are not presented as simply right or wrong, leaving you to weigh humanity’s interests against the means used to pursue them.

The world of Shibukawa

Japan lies in ruins after a future war twisted the world into a dystopia, while Shibukawa remains a bustling haven. The game uses pixel art and sound design to portray a future that is both unfamiliar and recognisable, and reflects contemporary issues through its story and choices.
