Prepare to embark on a mind-bending journey through time and space as Boyhood’s End, the episodic sci-fi puzzle-filled horror adventure makes its debut on PC via Steam Early Access on September 6th, 2024. Published by Alliance Arts and co-developed by WSS Playground and buriki clock, this unique title promises to redefine the boundaries of storytelling and gameplay.
Set in a future where humanity is under the dominion of a mechanical overlord named “R. Karellen,” Boyhood’s End challenges players to navigate a world where the very essence of humanity is determined by a mysterious system of “human scores.” These scores dictate everything from career paths to romantic relationships, casting a shadow of conformity over society.

Enter the world of Giovanni, a young protagonist who finds himself at the bottom of the human score hierarchy, subject to relentless bullying and social ostracization. However, a chance encounter with the enigmatic Campanella sets in motion a series of events that will defy the norms of their AI-controlled reality and lead to an unforgettable adventure.
Accompanied by Campanella, Giovanni embarks on a quest to reclaim his humanity, journeying through time and space in search of answers. From the advanced AI-dominated future to the archaic world of ancient coding, players will explore a richly detailed world filled with puzzles, challenges, and unexpected encounters.
As Giovanni and Campanella navigate historic periods and encounter legendary figures, players must grapple with moral dilemmas and decide whether to continue their fourth-dimensional escapade or return to the confines of their AI-controlled reality. With hand-drawn, pixelated visuals and beautifully animated cutscenes, “Boyhood’s End” promises a visually stunning and emotionally resonant gaming experience.
Boyhood’s End will debut on Steam Early Access with language and subtitle options available in English, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. While the game contains limited violent scenes, its primary focus lies in its captivating narrative and innovative gameplay mechanics.
As players delve into the mysteries of Boyhood’s End, they will uncover a tale of friendship, resilience, and the enduring spirit of humanity in the face of adversity. With its blend of sci-fi intrigue, puzzle-solving gameplay, and immersive storytelling, Boyhood’s End is poised to captivate audiences.
