What is TELLURICENE?
A first-person visual novel set in a dystopian nation, where you investigate whether a new species poses a threat. Across ten days, you monitor a specimen through three developmental stages, record findings, consult classified files, and submit reports through a research portal. Decisions about trust and ethics shape two romance paths and multiple endings.
