Naomi’s End

Naomi’s End is a short atmospheric sci-fi visual novel told through text and ink-wash images. Naomi is a young Japanese postgraduate student in New Zealand. After an evening of surfing, she wakes up in an impossible world that should not exist. Naomi tries to understand what happened, and whether she can return to her normal life. This is a minimal story-focused experience with no combat, no puzzles, and no branching paths. The game is designed to be read slowly, like a short illustrated sci-fi story.
