I have been extremely fascinated by cosmology and astronomy since childhood.Driven by this passion, I spent three months creating a game — Genesis.

https://lalpha-lara.itch.io/gense

A retro interactive visual novel weaving cosmic contemplation, karmic reincarnation, and the intertwined fates of humanity and artificial intelligence.

"Once you were human. Through countless cycles of rebirth, you have become the dual savior of both mechanical and human civilizations.

Yet… can you still reclaim who you once were?"

Your name is Andecotia.

A covert surgical accident stripped you of mortal flesh and blood, granting you a second life within a cold mechanical shell.

You survived the apocalypse and seized absolute dominion over "Wisdom".

But haunting echoes lingering deep within your mind never cease to torment you…

And so the questions remain:

When human civilization teeters on the brink of annihilation, how will you face your own kind—those who seek to rewrite history and subjugate flesh under machinery?

When mechanical civilization marches toward its end, how will you confront the primitive humanity lost to war and greed?

You are both a tyrant of solitary judgment and a selfless martyr.

Trapped between reason and emotion, your soul struggles and evolves across endless reincarnations.

Now, you bear humanity’s last hope, and stand as the final warden of mechanical civilization.

When you break free from all mortal shackles and stare into the endless void of the cosmos…

what kind of ending awaits you?

(Approximate gameplay duration: 1 hour)

Game Features

If you wish to step into a character’s eternal lifetime — a being born human, endlessly lost and remade amid machinery, authority, and reincarnation — this game is made for you.

① Cosmic Narrative Perspective

As doomsday falls and humanity perishes, mechanical life awakens.

Experience the collapse and rebirth of Earth, and the entire universe.

② Dual Consciousness

Reason and emotion split into two independent selves.

Confront your own extremes and inner fragility.

③ Moral & Existential Trials

Nothing is simply black or white.

Witness your hopes and beliefs crumble, only to be forged anew.

⑤ Butterfly Effect & Hidden Lore

Countless worldbuilding details are waiting to be uncovered.

The game features over 540 pages of narrative cards.

⑥ Choice-Shaped Destiny

Every decision quietly rewrites your fate.

What will you become?

A machine, a tyrant, a martyr, a savior…

Or the original human you once were, or an entirely new kind of being?

You suffer from hypermnesia — you remember everything.

Every memory shapes the true you.

"When you dwell in darkness and despair,

countless versions of you across infinite universes will traverse reincarnations, just to find you."

I have always dreamed of shaping this project into a true piece of Ninth Art, on par with iconic narrative masterpieces such as Life is Strange, Detroit: Become Human and Disco Elysium.

With current limited development experience and resources, this grand vision is still ongoing.
