Before The World Died is an interactive literature experience in which you collect and read poetry, along with science fiction short stories. All with undertones of classic Slavic existentialism packaged as a game.

If you like unique literature, then this is for you. The point is to read while being immersed in an environment that illustrates the writing.

Credits: The entire experience is hand crafted by me. No AI. Entirely made by a human. The only asset not made by me are two concrete textures from the Unfinished Building Quixel Megascans asset pack on Fab. These two were used as base textures for the concrete. I couldn't make something better. It's a very beautiful texture that I could not part with.
