Evaluation

Dream Ending is a short visual novel that launched on July 22, 2019. Its only DLC, "Dream Ending - Drama," was released the following day on July 23, 2019. The store description presents the game as a self-contained short story — "a short but exquisite visual novel" — with no mention of future content, expansions, or ongoing development. The developer's last known communication was a May 6, 2020 post announcing an updated English localization and a mention of upcoming Steam trading cards and wallpapers — cosmetic store features, not content expansions. No further posts have been made since then. The game launched as a complete narrative product, its single DLC shipped immediately at launch, and there are no outstanding content commitments or announced future additions.

About this game



===About===
  • Humans are on the brink of extinction...
    ...the Arks have left us...
    ...and all I’m left with is my exams.
    Suddenly, she demands that I ask her out...
    …wanting to face the inevitable together.

===Story===
  • Five years ago, scientists discovered that the sun is degrading at an accelerated pace,
    destined to devour Earth in an unknown amount of time.
    However, no one was willing to resign themselves to such a fate...

    Soon, executives formed the United Government, with a single effort in mind: continue our legacy.
    Their answer was to pool all of mankind’s remaining resources to manufacture gigantic space vessels called Arks.
    These marvels of technology would soon breach our skies to reach a new frontier.

    We succeeded. The Arks broke through orbit to carry on humanity’s spirit to survive.
    But none of that had anything to do with me… I was unqualified to board one.

    My plan is simply to carry on as normal, to continue taking exams in my old classroom.
    I wish to at least retain my pride when I finally leave this life.

    However, she had other plans. She wanted me to ask her want, just so we could face our dooms together.

Feature
  • A short but exquisite visual novel
  • A love story, with an additional ending story
