Original Steam description
Was Silence (고요였다)
2D Visual Novel | Narrative Adventure
Barely hearing the sounds of the world.
Boundaries between dream and waking blur.
There, three people await.
Loss and Will
This is a story about human resilience in the face of absence.
The senses fade. Yet something becomes clearer.
Bond. Voice. Will.
