Akuji (No.05)

ミ♒︎L⃘A⃘S⃘T⃘ B⃘R⃘E⃘A⃘T⃘H⃘♒︎ミ In the year 2088, the world didn’t end—it rotted. After a catastrophic war unleashed a strange, suffocating gas into the atmosphere, a deadly pandemic followed, spreading faster than anyone could comprehend. People collapsed where they stood. Entire towns went silent overnight. Those who survived began to vanish… or worse, change. You are one of the few still alive. In the hollow remains of a forgotten town, you drift through empty streets and decaying homes, carrying the weight of your mother’s death and the constant feeling that you are not alone. The air is never quite still. Shadows linger too long. And sometimes, in the distance, something moves where nothing should. Then you find him. Akuji—Unit No.05—is a service robot built to obey, to serve, to exist only under command. But in a world stripped of its masters, he is lost—his programming looping endlessly, searching for orders that will never come. Without purpose, he begins to unravel in ways no one ever designed him to. As you and Akuji travel through the ruins of civilization, something begins to follow. The gas still clings to the world, seeping into lungs, minds… and something deeper. Survivors are no longer just survivors, and the line between human and something else is beginning to blur. In a world where the air itself may be alive, and every sound in the dark could be your last, one question lingers: Are you truly alone… or has something been watching you all along?
