Kunado Chronicles

In the year 2034 A.D., humanity faced near-total annihilation when the Tekki - relentless metallic monsters - emerged and decimated civilization. Their arrival triggered the collapse of all metal-based technology, pushing survivors into small pockets between Tekki territories. A thousand years later, a lone hero finally dealt a decisive blow against the Tekki threat, ending the century-long conflict that defined human existence.

The battle for humanity's fate concluded 100 days ago, leaving behind a world grappling with concepts it had long forgotten - hope and happiness. Our story unfolds in Kanto, a region reminiscent of ancient Japan where approximately 800 empowered individuals maintain a society built entirely around survival. Even with the war over, citizens continue wearing fox masks and living as "nobodies," their identities completely erased by generations of conflict.

The narrative takes an unexpected turn when archaeologists unearth a young man from a thousand years in the past. Awakening from unreliable cryogenic sleep with fragmented memories, he possesses one crucial advantage - knowledge of ancient civilizations lost to time. When Kanto's leaders approach him with an offer of food, clothing, and shelter in exchange for bringing culture to their stark world, he accepts, becoming the unlikely catalyst for change in a society that knows nothing but warfare.

This multifaceted story explores several compelling elements:

  • A strange school life emerging in post-apocalyptic society
  • The revival of coffee shops and paper-money economies
  • The qualities and struggles of leadership in a rebuilding world
  • A former "nobody" discovering her identity and pursuing dreams
  • The complex legacy of heroism and sacrifice
  • At its core, this experience presents itself as a profound confession, weaving together personal journeys with societal transformation. The game delivers substantial content with 20+ hours of narrative, two branching routes that significantly impact the story, authentic Japanese voice acting that brings characters to life, and deeply developed personalities shaped by their unique post-apocalyptic world. This isn't just another survival story - it's an examination of what comes after survival, when people who only know war must learn to live in peace.

    Final opinion

    The game presents a fascinating premise about rebuilding civilization after an apocalyptic war. Its narrative depth, branching paths, and strong character development are significant strengths. However, the reliance on a cryogenically-preserved protagonist is a somewhat tired trope. The promise of exploring a society rediscovering culture offers a compelling and unique experience beyond typical post-apocalyptic settings.
