About

Sora has 24 hours to live.
In Mayday Trials, a dark and intense psychological visual novel, you play as Sora as he is forced to undergo five psychological trials. Each room represents a stage of grief. Each trial confronts him with twisted simulations of his past, brutal revelations about his family, and moral dilemmas with no easy answers.

Your Past is a Trap.
Wake up in a cold interrogation room with a countdown in your head. Sora Halbeth, tech prodigy and CEO. As the voice of Mayday mocks and manipulates him, Sora must confront the truth behind his origins and his choices. Was his success ever truly his? Or was it all a carefully designed trap? Under the trials of Mayday, Sora gets closer to the answers.

Face the Five Trials
Denial. Anger. Bargaining. Depression. Acceptance. Each psychological gauntlet forces Sora to confront manipulated memories and impossible choices—while the clock runs out.

Every decision matters. The trials you guide Sora through will lead to one of three highly consequential endings. Accept the truth, or maybe rewrite it? Maybe there's another path entirely.

Key Features:
Short but impactful story with a full playthrough lasting around one hour.
Deeply psychological narrative with dark philosophical themes.
Choice-driven gameplay with three unique and meaningful endings.
Grunge-inspired visuals and atmospheric original soundtrack.
Moral dilemmas that explore free will, trauma, and identity.
Can you uncover the truth before the clock runs out?
Your choices decide how Sora confronts his final hours.

Y si la abuela hubiera educado mejor a su hijo y a su nieto? Es una muy buena narrativa con una historia bastante floja y llena de huecos.
if you were raised by your grandparents, prepare to be depressed beyond reprieve (amazing soundtrack and writing. absolutely stunning visuals, one of a kind)
그냥..추천 못하겠음... 이런 반복적이고 단순한 스토리면 내가 짜도 금방 만들듯..
As others have mentioned, each new game from VAINSANE gets better in overall tone and writing. This one was a lot more depressing to me too. Though I only go the one ending since loading saves just freezes the program on my system, and skipping text also does the same. orz Still, I liked it!
I must say this one is special, the environment and atmosphere it gives feels very surreal, the story was interesting , tho at first its kinda complex but you'll get the hang of it eventually. the implant idea and everything else happening was quite depressing to say the least this game is around 40 min long i'd def suggest this game , it is worth a shot overall 7/10
Eu adorei, não tem muito a se falar além de que esse jogo é incrível. Eu ainda tenho alguns problemas, como que o jogo não faz o suficiente para mostrar o outro lado da história, que faz com que um lado fique muito desigual em caso de argumento, criando uma situação estranha onde parece que o jogo não está tentando te convencer de que existem duas escolhas e não existe escolha "certa" Tipo, eu queria que tivesse mais importância o sofrimento que a avó passou e o quanto ela se sacrificou para que tudo tivesse certo e o que você ganharia tivesse mais explicação em envés de falar que você irá ganhar "poder, dinheiro, fama". Mas o resto está bem escrito o suficiente para compensar. Recomendo.
I liked the creepy soundtrack and visuals. The story would have worked better if the "villain" was more nuanced, Mayday Trials' "moral dilemmas" kind of fall apart when its antagonist sounds like Dr. Eggman. Definitely a "because it's cheap" recommendation, i hope this developer makes more games in the future that focus more on the surreal atmosphere.
Bom, o jogo claramente retrata os 5 estágios do luto e acho interessante como ele se desenvolve, apesar de não ser o melhor desenvolvimento do planeta, porém todo o plot e seus finais acabam sendo bem interessantes, o fator repetição de cada ciclo demonstra muito bem como nos sentimos, cada vez mais escuros até encontrarmos a luz. Eu recomendo se você procura uma história interessante e curtinha
短編だけど作品としての満足感があります。 Ctrlキー長押しで既読スキップ可能なので全エンドを面倒なく読めます。
j'aime beaucoup ces jeux, nettement moins complexe que "slay the princess" mais j'ai bien aimé, pour ceux qui vont jouer les options en blanc sont désactivés en gris activés tab est la lecture rapide, je conseilles de désactivé les textes non lu seulement contrairement à "slay rhe princess" les modifications de décor ne sont pas marquants je trouves je l'ai acheter pour 1,20 euros et je l'ai finis en 70 minutes je dirai qu'il vaut 3 sur 5 car il n'y a pas de véritable dilemme la "bonne fin" ne sera (je penses) jamais découverte en premier, (elle peut) mais la première fin est vraiment satisfaisant!!!!!! C'est un bon choix de réalisation au vu de l'histoire. gg à l'artiste merci pour cette heure et oeuvre, beaucoup de choses peuvent être améliorés réfère toi au mastodonte qu'est slay the princess (décor, animation de personnage). rare sont les jeux que je 100%, je regrettes pas de l'avoir acheté.
