About
Year Unknown is a short "walking sim" with a branching narrative. It takes ~1 hour to complete.
Explore The Library, a megastructure the size of the universe, filled with all of humanity's knowledge. To guide you are two Artificial Intelligences, built to process its massive collection of information.
But something else is calling you - a distress call from the center of the universe. The stagnant universe is breaking down, and there may be no way to save it.

Explore brutalist landscapes, and find terminals to talk to two AI. Both have different thoughts and opinions, and might tell you different things. Fortunately, you have control: choose which AI to talk to, what to tell them or leave out, and ultimately, decide who you agree with.
Includes the following accessibility options:
Text size adjustment
OpenDyslexic as an alternative font
Text-to-speech
Option to reduce the motion of certain effects and sequences
Note: This game does not contain content from a generative AI. The AI in the game are written characters.

Existential crises simulator. Great writing!
Quite an interesting experience. Simple and short, but hits hard and I certainly won't forget it - a game to go in blind with for sure.
Dang this hits hard!! And is extremely pretty...
... some lighting issues near the end. use text to speech in the grass area to hear the text you can't see.
Very nice, minimalistic, short walking simulator with a beautiful, relaxing ambient soundtrack about ethics and philosophy that plays in an abandoned brustalistic megastructure.
Short but sweet experience with good atmosphere
Not a long game, but it's good. Has some interesting points to make without labouring them.
A cute little walking simulator game about eternity, in a way that's kind of similar to 17776. A bit overpriced for what it is, but I really enjoyed it!
There is a demo available and I recommend playing it first to see if you enjoy it. I wish more games would leave their demos up after release like this one does. A nice little existential dread walking sim. It only took me about an hour to wander through it. It felt short but at the same time it didn't drag on too long either. Eternity isn't meant for mortals.
