In The Wake of Bubble

The story revolves around a protagonist whose lover dies in a seemingly insignificant accident. Players will uncover the full series of events through metaphors embedded in various incidents and texts within the game’s scenes, ultimately guiding the protagonist to either escape into the past or find redemption.

Life is as fragile as a bubble; its bursting is instantaneous, yet the shattering itself is eternal. When someone you have shared every moment with steps into eternity, it feels as if half of your flesh has been carved away, leaving a void that cannot be filled, only to wail within the torrent of time. When all shared memories become a cage and gradually transform into sharp spikes that can pierce through you, there is nowhere to hide—you can only run.

At its core, the game embodies the idea of “memories attacking me from all sides.” When a loved one passes away, especially when it feels like you could have saved them, the torment of regret, guilt, and sorrow becomes overwhelming. The protagonist dreads every familiar place and fragment from their shared past, as these remind them of the radiant beauty of bygone moments, the stark reality of the lover's death, and the missed chances that slipped through their fingers.

The game seeks to convey that life, as ephemeral and fragile as a dream or a bubble, should not burden you with guilt for its unprovoked shattering.
