Public access to this planet is not permitted. Soil and atmosphere contain perfluorocarbon crystal levels that have been deemed hazardous to life. Hallucinations and neural echoes are common. Only authorized personnel allowed. Trespassing carries fines up to 10,000 rupees. This message plays on repeat on the emergency beacons here. You step out of your ship and the wind assaults you. Pink dust rasps at your respirator and goggles. You are the only living creature on this planet. Nothing can live here anymore. Nothing. * * * NeoCrystal Elegy is a tarot-based solo journaling game about ecological collapse. You play as an explorer of a beautiful, pink, dead planet covered in sharp, rose-colored crystals. You explore the ruins of a city as you make your way to your destination in the center before the crystal storm overtakes you. Psychic echoes of the people who lived here before you blow in the wind here, washing over you just like the pink sand that covers everything. There is a 2-player variant included if you would prefer to explore with a friend! This game is a hack of Anamnesis by Sam Leigh and was created for Anamnesis Jam.
