About Atrocity
Story
Lives of several ordinary people are at the center of the story.
Robert is a schoolteacher who can make some money by robbing ancient graves.
Joe is a regular guy who went on a fascinating trip to the seaside, together with his girlfriend and other friends.
Andrew is an antique dealer who settled down in an old fire tower opening his store in it.
They all came to Aksaypolis at different times and for various reasons. Yet their lives got entangled because of the dangerous mysteries that are still present in this place. Each of them got exposed to some mystical effects, so if they want to stay alive, they must figure out what to do without losing control of their being. The force that is paramount in Aksaypolis is pitiless. They can confront it only if they stand together.
Aksaypolis
This rather humble provincial town on the seaside is, in fact, one of the world’s oldest settlements. Long before humans invented the wheel, some peoples who names did not survive in history erected their sacrificial altars here in order to perform their abominable rituals.
Eras, people, millenniums passed here. Ancient Greeks who gave the town its name lived here, just as numerous nomad tribes which kept fighting each other in the never-ending war for the control of the steppe. And the Necropolis of Aksaypolis expanded more and more, each time reminding people that they should not disturb forces which humans cannot grasp.
Even in the 20th century, at the height of human progress and development, the authorities making the decision to create a modern industrial center here built a large industrial area. But people have never lived in any of the new buildings. Just as no one has ever worked in the workrooms of the huge plant shaped as a pentagram. What remains here today are the carcass frames of the buildings partially submerged in the swampland—and locals have been avoiding this site for half a century.

✦ AI summary
Atrocity presents an engaging horror mystery with well-developed characters and a compelling story that keeps players invested through its chapters. However, the experience is hampered by translation and grammar issues that, while not game-breaking, disrupt immersion, and by the visual disconnect between photorealistic character models and illustrated backgrounds that some find jarring.
Visual novels thrive on good writing. Unfortunately, Atrocity has some issues with grammar, spelling, and punctuation. The story might be interesting but it is very hard to immerse when the characters are photo realistic against illustrated backgrounds. https://youtu.be/DskkpqfOKHc6 found this helpful
TL;DR = Great horror/mystery novel. Slight translation issues, not game-breaking. I have enjoyed this game quite a bit so far. I've played the first three chapters which pretty much lay the foundation as far as plot and characters. I was surprised by how distinct all of the characters are. Robert, the history teacher, is probably my favorite, but all of the characters are interesting in their personalities and flaws. Unfortunately, the English translation is the weakest part of this game. I never had trouble understanding what was happening but the way it was said could be strange. It wasn't a deal breaker for me but it might be a problem for others. The art was a bit of a mixed bag for me. I really liked the highly detailed characters. I thought I was looking at actual photos for most of Chapter 1 so that's impressive. The background was far less interesting in comparison but, at least, the locations were clearly different from each other. It might also be worth noting that this game is almost entirely dialogue. The player has, maybe, 4 choices per chapter. However, those choices significantly effect how the game proceeds. I've replayed Chapter 1 a few times and had a diffe…4 found this helpful

Pay to Win: Absolutely not! I have never played an indie horror game before, and I believe that “Atrocity” was a great way to introduce myself to the genre.
