Absence

A first-person game about the last living thing at the end of the world. You are certain you are the only one left. You are just as certain that you are wrong about that, because something out there is still moving, and you have seen the signs of it, and you are going to find it. Both of those certainties sit in you at once, and the distance between them is the length of the game.

The end of everything is coming, and it is not a villain. It doesn't hunt you, it doesn't hate you, and it arrives at the same rate whatever you do with the time in front of it. There is nothing to bargain with and nothing to beat. There is only how far you get, and what you find on the way, and what you make of it.

The pace is slow, the world is quiet, and there is a lot of walking. Rendered in a realistic style, lit by a sun that is on its way out, and told without spectacle.
