This game contains sensitive material, including but not limited to suicidal thoughts and substance abuse. Player discretion is advised.
You are a vaelix, a dying species that has been hunted to near extinction. Everyday, you live in fear of being eliminated. And yet, only your blood can be used to treat the deadly virus, Flos. Normally, you’d only have to donate your blood but… the blood supplies are running out. Now, the Department of Disease Prevention sends a letter requesting your presence to perform experiments — at the potential cost of your life. That’s fine by you.
Nonetheless, on your journey, you meet hitchhikers who talk about their life experiences, and that makes you reflect on how much you will miss out. Do you really want to die all for the sake of others?

Finally got around to playing the demo, gotta say props to the team! The sound effects really add that much to your actions, music too. the choice to opt out of things and that effecting decisions is an inspired choice.
Though the time was brief, I enjoyed it. Especially that adorable cat, Lachlan too. Great on the VA Sei.
I certainly would like to play the full game and the rest of the world in it.
Thank you! We are super glad that you enjoyed your playthrough of Road to Salvation. Balancing all the music with the sound effects and voice acting was quite the process. We are happy that it was worth it.
Before the full game comes out, we have a huge update planned so we hope you stay tuned until then.
ohhh this was so dope!! really like it so far!! Really adore the ui, the art, and how you could interact with things. The story and world grabbed me in instantly and I'm very curious to see where this goes!!
I like the game, the mini details and the music is designed very well the xylophone is rarely used so it's very cool how its used. It makes you feel like your in the scene along with the zooms. It gets you involved in the story and feel Estel's perspective. As someone who grow up with alcoholics so how they are written is accurate to the people I grew up with. I like Lachain, i don't know if his name was based off the loch ness monster but whether it does or doesn't it's cool. He reminds me of Kazuichi Souda from danganronpa 2. Im hoping to see more.
This was a really awesome demo, really promising, really liked Lachain! Can’t wait to see the full game
