NOIR: Epoch Fade

A sci-fi psychological thriller set in 2031, where a nameless assassin working in the shadows is given an unexpected protection assignment: a brilliant scientist. For the first time, the protagonist's cold logic begins to falter, and they start to question whether they are losing control or finally waking up to something more human. The narrative weaves together themes of identity, agency, and connection as the assassin navigates a fractured world divided between New Albion and Vetrax—two superpowers locked in the aftermath of a devastating Cold War. Alongside the central protection mission, the protagonist encounters a diverse cast: a fiercely loyal studio owner, a sharp-tongued operative trained from childhood, a compassionate scientist-doctor, and others whose secrets run as deep as their own. The game combines political intrigue, conspiracy, and crime with romance, slice-of-life moments, and psychological drama. With over 25,000 words, multiple branching paths, and numerous endings, the choices players make shape the assassin's journey from a programmed instrument of death toward something unpredictable—and possibly, redemption.
