Road to Salvation
Click to view content warning
This game contains sensitive material, including but not limited to suicidal thoughts and substance abuse. Player discretion is advised.
You are a vaelix, a dying species that has been hunted to near extinction. Everyday, you live in fear of being eliminated. And yet, only your blood can be used to treat the deadly virus, Flos. Normally, you’d only have to donate your blood but… the blood supplies are running out. Now, the Department of Disease Prevention sends a letter requesting your presence to perform experiments — at the potential cost of your life. That’s fine by you.
Nonetheless, on your journey, you meet hitchhikers who talk about their life experiences, and that makes you reflect on how much you will miss out. Do you really want to die all for the sake of others?

I like the game, the mini details and the music is designed very well the xylophone is rarely used so it's very cool how its used. It makes you feel like your in the scene along with the zooms. It gets you involved in the story and feel Estel's perspective. As someone who grow up with alcoholics so how they are written is accurate to the people I grew up with. I like Lachain, i don't know if his name was based off the loch ness monster but whether it does or doesn't it's cool. He reminds me of Kazuichi Souda from danganronpa 2. Im hoping to see more.
This was a really awesome demo, really promising, really liked Lachain! Can’t wait to see the full game
