Rise of the ether

Support us on boosty and alert!

This will help the WH to promote itself. VN is done on enthusiasm.

No one could have known the tragedy to which just one discovery would lead.

Story:

After one event 50 years ago, people with extraordinary powers were discovered, they're called “Esters” because their gift is based on transforming the ether of the world. A so-called “witch hunt” was declared on them, under the pretext that they were a danger. This incident split the society in two and people with Esters started to treat each other with caution.

Freya, like many Esters, was forced to leave her former place of employment and flee to the slums of the city. Decades later, when it seemed that her life would never cross again with her former colleagues, the phone rang.

Recently, people have started disappearing and the main character is approached by an old colleague for help in the case. But what this case has led to is something Freya never dreamed of.

Yesterday's peace, today has turned into a brutal carnage.

Go through the different variations of the game and see the full story.
