An Outcry
Harass your neighbours. Debate with birds. Smoke to survive.
On the fourth floor of an apartment complex in Vienna, five people lead their lonely lives.
Behind door #3 lives the Unnamed, a 25-year-old shut-in:
A smoker, interested in bikes, books and music, in the grip of heavy anxiety and poverty.
By complete chance, the Unnamed would lock themself out of their apartment one fateful night, and be placed in your hands.
The night of the 14th of October 2017
was no ordinary night-
A heavy beating of strange wings filled the air with the scent of smoke, and covered the stars in an ink-like rot.
It is your mission to ensure the Unnamed’s safety as the shadows close around them. Make certain they survive; choose their path carefully.

I don't know if I can express how good this game is without reapeating what others have already said. But if you like RPG narrative games birds doing evil bird ♥♥♥♥ and playing as a non-binary character struggling with their identiy and dealing with the horrible place they live in, then this game is for you!

I picked this game up on a whim after seeing someone play the Bleaksword Demo.
and. God i was not prepared for what i was going to find.
Having so far played one route and reached one Ending it was a truly Amazing experience that often hits. So perfectly uncomfortably close to home.
The Writing is incredibly spot on as someone that has my own experiences with dysphoria, really horrifies you with its engagement with creeping fascism.
Its a genuinely incredible experience.

Damn, what a game!
I found kt out through this video
What I loved the most is how the gameplay is part of the narrative itself. Dialogues and combats are not what you think they are. Not exactly.
And the fact that the main character is a bald transfem person... damn! Representation! Finally I could play as myself 😆
Anyhow, if you like narrative games, RPG and hear your soul cry while your mind dissipate in sorrow, that's the game for you.
