Far Away

About

Far Away is a story-driven visual novel with RPG elements set in the gritty port city of Bedjan. You play as Krosa, a dockworker with mechanical arms caught in a web of gang violence, political schemes, and long-buried family secrets. The narrative unfolds through branching choices that shape alliances, uncover conspiracies, and determine the city’s fate. Combat and exploration are handled through dialogue and skill checks, emphasizing character dynamics and moral dilemmas over action. The game stands out for its sharp, often darkly funny script and layered characters. While some players found pacing uneven in early chapters, the later acts deliver a tense payoff as personal and civic crises collide. With over 15 major decision points and multiple endings, replayability hinges on how deeply you dig into Bedjan’s corrupt underbelly. Available on PC since 2021, it’s a leaner alternative to heavier visual novels, prioritizing narrative twists over lengthy cutscenes.

Storyline

Many years later, Krosa still recalls that morning in the Bedjan Harbor—The cold and fishy sea mist dispersed, steamboat bellowing at a great distance. She put on her mechanical arms and began a typical day as a docker. However, she never imagined her life would completely change on that day... Twenty years have passed since the last war grinded to a halt in Bedjan. The city has seemingly retrieved a sense of peace and stability. However, an unsettling current is sweeping through the city. Chaos and a horrible scheme begins to brew in the "underworld." Krosa, as merely a common Bedjan citizen, can you frustrate the scheme? How will you change this city?
