I chose an anti-war theme, but I lacked the ability to depict an entire conflict. Moreover, large-scale warfare struggles to convey its true brutality. So I narrowed the scope, focusing on two protagonists\u2014two inexperienced young women who had never faced life-and-death separation. Only after one paid the ultimate price did the survivor, driven by hatred, realize that the people around her were flesh and blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regarding the world-building, I have also set the external era as a time of war, serving as an amplified version of the tragedy experienced by the two girls featured in the story. While players won&#8217;t be made aware of this broader historical context during gameplay, I will document this background in supplementary pages outside the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4
