A Cafe at the End of the World

A Café at the End of the World is a kinetic visual novel—a "still motion" story experience told through evocative static imagery and text.

Step into a sanctuary existing between life and death. Follow the journey of Lune, a woman who arrives with no memory, as she is welcomed by Aiden, the café’s gentle owner, and Rowan, a cryptic regular. As Lune uncovers the fragmented memories of her past, she must confront the truth of her own death—and the secret binding the owner to this eternal waiting room.

A Cinematic Reading Experience: Sit back and immerse yourself in a linear, dialogue-driven story without complex gameplay mechanics.

An Emotional Mystery: Unravel a tale of grief and acceptance as Lune pieces together her life before the silent "Stranger" outside comes to take her home.
