Genre: Visual Novel
Summary: You awake after the apocalypse and become close with a lone survivor.
Gameplay: Gameplay consists of options in action and dialogue.
Style: Backgrounds are photorealistic, which clashes a bit with the single drawn character, but are otherwise helpful at conveying at the worn, dusty atmosphere. The music is good but tends to cut out at odd times. There are nicely dramatic chapter titles.
Story: Aloners tells an excellent and engaging story. Although the post-apocalyptic world is stereotypical, the time given to details of survival make it feel enjoyable. The story itself has its twists, and the character of Trash is rich. I do wish that all the options in responses and actions resulted in a bit more variation in the story, but I'm still glad they're there.
Conclusion: Aloners offers an interesting and exciting post-apocalyptic romance.
