A visual novel disguised as a video game. Canada-built, Australia-published, and unlike anything else — a book you cannot put down.

1000xRESIST is more visual novel than video game but it is a game and you do have a bit of agency in your interactions. Canada-built, Australia-published, and out-of-this-world creativity make this one heck of a ride.
You play as a character in a weirdly-isolated post-apocalyptic world ravaged by a mystery disease. Chapter after chapter of brilliant voicework and art direction unveils a story that is uniquely entertaining.
It was like a book that you can't put down. The pace was perfect, the intrigue was excellent, and the overall production was unlike virtually anything else so I greedily consumed this one.
