Overview
The Sundew plunges players into the rain-slicked streets of Shibukawa, Japan, in the year 2054. This narrative-driven, point-and-click adventure game casts you as Anna Isobe, a cybernetically enhanced detective navigating a world that has grown wary of augmented humans. Once a symbol of progress, cyborgs are now outcasts, replaced by the cold efficiency of drones and automatons. The game's atmosphere is thick with a sense of decay and disillusionment, as the city's neon glow barely pierces the pervasive gloom.
