■ Send care packages through time to the last human alive In a far future where civilization has collapsed, only one survivor remains — "the Descendant." From across time and space, you send him food, tools, and small comforts. All you do is simple: pick an item and send it. That alone slowly begins to change the fate of a humanity on the brink of extinction. ■ Features [1] Just pick and send — an easy care-package game No complicated controls. Simply choose an item and send it. Water, a battery, a book, a game, a flower, a warm meal… what you send changes how the Descendant lives his days. A relaxed idle/nurture experience you can enjoy in your spare moments. [2] Your gifts branch the ending The items you send and the choices you make split the story into many possible endings. Funny endings, bittersweet endings… and maybe something more. Use the Ending Hint feature to aim for the happy ending. [3] Warm, easygoing chats with a talkative Descendant Alone in a harsh future, the Descendant is surprisingly chatty — perhaps from loneliness. Silly small talk, and the occasional line that hits you right in the heart. Enjoy cozy conversations with the last human alive. ■ Things to dig into - Collect care-package items and discover different reactions - Complete every possible ending - Change the Descendant’s suit color - A post-apocalyptic story that reveals more the more you replay ■ Great for players who like - Idle and nurture games for quick, relaxing play - Story-driven games and visual novels where choices change the ending - Post-apocalyptic and sci-fi settings - Funny yet slightly bittersweet, wholesome stories - Playing all the way to the end without paying Free to play to the end (contains ads and optional in-app purchases). Optional purchases: remove ads / faster energy recovery / change the Descendant’s suit color. So — send today’s care package to the last human alive. Your choices decide how this end-of-the-world story ends.
