Story:

The protagonist woke up in a apocalyptic world where he met the only surviving human in the world named Trash. The two of them set forth on a quest to live for their daily lives while avoiding the red clouds that turn humans into munies, people who lost their sense and eats anything that lives. One day, they found a lab and revealed that the protagonist isn't from their time and they found out that other people had survived. They set forth on a journey to seek others hoping for a better chance of survival.

Characters:

Name: Trash

He is awkward having to live with the protagonist since he didn't have anyone for seven years. At first he was harsh and sarcastic to the girl but slowly develops something for the protagonist. Also, somehow during their travel, it seems that he is hiding something.

My Drabbles:

---Warning! May contain spoilers!---

This is a free otome game and since it's free, why not try it out! It looks interesting when I first saw it. Okay so the girl start of in a park and suddenly founds herself in a room full of stuffs or junks. As she gets up, a person points up a gun on her head saying that he will kill her. That was actually a good start of the game since it was kinda thrilling. So the girl runs out but finds herself in a middle of nowhere place where everything are either rocks or sand. The guy caught up ready to shoot her but was hesitant and so he asked a question where he realized something that he was wrong. He apologized to the girl saying that he thought that she was one of them, he was talking about to the munies. People who got caught up in the red cloud and turned into crazy people who eats flesh like zombies.

So they come to know one another to the point where they slowly develop romantic feelings toward each other. All is good until they both stumble on a lab and there they found out that the girl woke up from the lab. Imagine the place where Alice woke up at the end of Resident Evil. She was suppose to wake up after a hundred years but something happened and she woke up earlier, maybe about 40 years later. Their are other people like her but they didn't make it and died sleeping. After a few days, they found out that their are other survivors and the girl is very willing to go and find out while Trash says so otherwise.

In the end, they both went on a journey to be with the survivors, they stumbled upon the military at the end of their travel and they are very willing to help despite Trash being cold to them. Trash even says that he he knows about the experiments and wants revenge stating that their greatest experiment, the girl, will not come into their hands. The girl overheard all of this. She was very emotional at first but tried to talk to Trash about it and he was really guilty about it but he really do loves her. The misunderstanding was washed away and they are lovers again.

Later it was find out they are not an army and they are bandits that killed Trash's family and relatives. They were imprisoned together but they somehow manage to get out by making the munies go crazy in the basement with the whistle that the bandits are using. Their are two endings here, if the girl didn't do anything while being captive by the bad guy then he will kill Trash using the gun and runs away with the girl making her his sex slave. On the good ending, the girl will do something stupid like struggle to get free and saved herself and Trash. In the end, they stayed in the base since their are no more bandits left, they were all killed by the munies. They start to tidy the place and send signals to help other people since the base is a good place to protect themselves from munies.

Their were a lot feels in this and it was really realistic. Trash can be good and bad at the same time and the girl can be badass or a helpless girl depending on the players choices. I also like their sarcastic exchanges, it was quite funny. I've read that their is an ending that they made a mistake on making Trash into a munie, I'm not actually sure if that is true since I never encountered that ending. But if that really happened then that is the worst ending of all. I'm just disappointed that the other characters are all silhouettes and no faces at all and the only bachelor of the game is Trash, I was expecting others but oh well. Overall its a good game and the atmosphere is like Walking Dead. Apocalypse and betrayals. Yup, its good.
