Gnosia


  • Language: English, Japanese, Chinese

Let’s walk and talk. Can you get up?

The Gnosia lie. Pretending to be human, they’ll get in close, trick and deceive, and then eradicate each person in the vicinity from the universe, one victim at a time.

The crew of a drifting spaceship, facing off against a mysterious and deadly threat known as the "Gnosia" and having no idea who among them is really the enemy, formulate a desperate plan for survival. The most suspicious among them will be put into "cold sleep" one by one, in an effort to completely rid the ship of Gnosia.

However, it is almost impossible to tell whether each person put into cold sleep was really Gnosia – or simply a poor, unfortunate scapegoat, sacrificed by the Gnosia for their own survival. Can the humans emerge victorious? Or is mankind doomed...?

About

Gnosia is a "sci-fi social deduction RPG".

The story takes place on a spaceship. Among the crew are several mysterious life forms known as "Gnosia". Bent on the complete eradication of humankind, the Gnosia quietly eliminate one crew member each night.

The player can select whether to play the game as human – where they must find all of the Gnosia and put them into a state of suspended animation ("Cold Sleep") to win, or Gnosia – where your goal is to attack and eliminate each crew member until the Gnosia outnumber the remaining humans. Progress through the story by playing through 10- to 15-minute rounds ("Loops") in this "Werewolf-style" indie game that has already garnered overwhelmingly positive feedback in Japan.

In addition to the story and gameplay, the characters and their interpersonal relationships are also an integral part of what makes this game unique and special. Themes of friendship, love, trust, life and death, and personal identity are carefully explored, and Gnosia features a diverse and inclusive cast of characters, ignoring genre stereotypes.

    • Ichirou Tani has a thing for hostess bars and spent all his company's money at them. Fleeing into the snowy mountains,
      his car breaks down during a heavy storm and he's forced to wander in search of help. That's when he stumbles upon

      Inside her meets the widowed head of the family, Rurie Munakata, her daughter Nakoto, and their maid Ren Takahara.
      And nobody else... His passions were inflamed by the residents' beautiful faces and excellent bodies, but he feared they may call the police if he tried anything. And so he abstained...

      later, at the dinner table, Nakoto was quite rude with Ichirou. As an apology, and because of the bad weather, Rurie asks that Ichirou stay there as Nakoto's tutor until Spring. He had no reason to refuse.

      He spent his first night at the mansion thinking on the events that lead him there. His embezzlement, his escape, becoming Nakoto's tutor... And that's when Rurie crept into his room. Sneaking into a healthy, virile man's bedroom at night? At her age, there's no way she didn't know what she was doing... And indeed, it progressed to sex. Ichirou had barely internalized what was happening when Rurie spoke...

      "If you want more of this, you'll need to take my daughter's virginity..."

      Before Ichirou could even ask a question, Rurie answered.
      "She's at that age, you know... but out here in the mountains she doesn't meet a lot of men. As her mother, I'm worried."

      He didn't believe her, but he was under her spell... he'd do it, and with her full consent.

      The next day, Ichirou's job as a tutor began. Nakoto was a difficult student, but she harbored no ill will toward her teacher.
      Since he had Rurie's permission, he couldn't take it any longer. He pushed Nakoto onto the bed. But when he lifted her skirt,
      he found a tightly-locked chastity belt. Nakoto smirked.

      "If you want to have sex with me, get mom pregnant..."

      A mother who wants him to have sex with her daughter...
      A daughter who wants him to impregnate her mother...
      And the maid who serves the both of them...

      The curtain rises on a shocking four-way tale of debauchery!
