Prototype

About

Prototype is a narrative-driven visual novel set in a near-future Hong Kong grappling with social unrest and technological upheaval. You navigate a story where artificial human replicas challenge ideas of identity and purpose. Choices shape interactions with characters caught between progress and obsolescence, all while uncovering layers of a world where innovation outpaces humanity. What lingers most are the quiet moments of self-awareness in characters designed to be disposable. The stark art style and minimalist dialogue amplify the tension between creation and creator. A small but vocal community has praised its philosophical undertones and willingness to leave questions unanswered, making it a thought-provoking entry in the visual novel genre.

Storyline

Hong Kong, nearest future. Socio-economic crises have not been exhausted, and political contradictions are only getting sharper. However, even against such a background, detached human minds learn to artificially recreate their likeness. Techno-demo about itself, about self-reflection of the unfinished and artificial. My attempt to convey the voice of those who are dismissed and forgotten in the stream of indifferent progress.
