Gameplay
Plot
The main protagonist, Mary, is a young girl who awakens in an unfamiliar room with no memories of her past. She discovers her purpose: to serve as humanity's final conversational companion during the 21 nanoseconds between life and death, as the moon falls and the world comes to an end.[2] Mary is the last human left alive, and listens to immortal souls who want to be saved, as they share their life stories, regrets, and unspoken thoughts. Each conversation becomes an 'act of salvation', helping souls process what they left behind. All characters except for Mary are presented as humanoid animals like cats, frogs or owls.
Reception
Some reviewers highlighted that Schrödinger's Call is "mixing the charming with the truly strange and uncomfortable in terms of graphics and concept".[6] One of the creators of the game states that it is "definitely emotional" and that "there's nothing 'scary' about this game at all".[6] The game won the grand prize in the game development contest GAME BBQ vol.1, held by Game Creators Camp in 2021.[5]
