Athanasy v18.04.2022

Athanasy plunges you into a nameless underground metropolis known simply as “the City,” a claustrophobic maze of narrow alleys where sunlight never reaches and the air carries no hint of life. You take on the role of Josiah Kaviani, a brilliant but painfully isolated mathematician and statistician, whose quiet existence is shattered by a chance encounter. What begins as an intellectual fascination soon unravels into something far more sinister—a hidden presence so horrific that merely knowing of its existence can prove deadly.

This visual novel weaves biopunk, body-horror and sci-fi into a gripping narrative grounded in real scientific ideas. Every character you meet feels lived-in and flawed, each driven by secrets and ambitions that may align with—or betray—your own. As Josiah, you’ll face a branching web of choices, any of which can send the story careening toward an unexpected—and often terrible—conclusion. With multiple endings ranging from bleak to utterly devastating, Athanasy refuses to spare you from the consequences of your decisions.

Beyond its unsettling story, Athanasy delivers an original, blood-soaked soundtrack that amplifies every moment of dread, plus a special gallery mode to revisit key artwork as you uncover new paths. Some of the author’s darker visions were deemed too cruel and censored, but what remains is more than enough to haunt you long after the credits roll. At roughly five to ten hours, this is a compact but unforgettable descent into bio-horror that demands to be experienced.
