Our take on The Agony
Its defining structure is a visual novel where choices made in the first part determine one of four endings, giving early decisions lasting consequences in the narrative.
What is The Agony?
The Agony is a visual novel about an ordinary walk that becomes a flight from bandits and leads the main characters into strange catacombs.
These underground spaces exist beneath towns and cities alongside sewer systems, bomb shelters, and scientific objects. Inside the catacombs, familiar laws of the universe fail, and the characters face difficult tests. Player decisions direct the plot, with choices made in the first part determining one of four endings. The story takes place at the edge of the reality plane familiar to the characters. Its novelet style leans toward pseudo-science rather than unexplained mysticism.
