Our take on Degeneration
Deadly snowfall makes the mountain church more than a backdrop: it is the refuge separating the characters from an outside world where travelers do not survive ten paces.
What is Degeneration?
Degeneration is an action-adventure RPG set in a snowbound apocalyptic world.
Atohi watches from a church tower when he notices large footprints and a distant man in a red coat. The church has become a refuge for people seeking shelter in the mountains, while those who venture into the snow do not survive ten paces. The game combines puzzle solving with a dark atmosphere and encounters with monsters and unearthly creatures. Players travel with two friends and face questions about imposed ideas and personal choices. The journey asks whether its characters will take an active role or remain passive figures.
