===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.

A compact after dinner dessert, yet it delivers a genuinely heartfelt emotional punch. Though there are plenty of regrets not fixed even by the side stories, this doesnt ruin its standing as a good work.4 found this helpful
I am not crying you are! Dream ending is a sweet short story that personally was to me a story showing the importance of having the negative emotions and pain to enjoy the good and experience feelings with other people and building connections. Even at the worse end of the world a sweet romance can start and you can find meaning in the world and trying to tell us all of our experiences even in the short period of time we have in life it is all worth it.2 found this helpful
Bittersweet. So sorrowful yet so beautiful, it's bittersweet!1 found this helpful
I don't even know why I have this game. I tried it a little, and it's okay.1 found this helpful
I hate that I love this story so much. I have only read one other of this dev's games so far, but it has the same story boarding method. Start the story out with a wide array of info being fed to you and with some truly unlikable protagonists, yet as the story goes on there are specific bits of important plot lines and twists that get added which completely re-write my initial thoughts on the early segments. I love how the dev works these important bits of detail that completely change a stories narratives and how I view the characters. The ending was super bitter sweet but tied every thing together in the prettiest little bow. I highly recommend reading this novel if a short, sweet, and expansive love story tweaks your interest.

Released in 2019, this game manages to deliver a powerful emotional experience despite its relatively short length, making it a memorable entry in the realm of narrative-driven games. At its core, Dream Ending invites players to reflect on what truly matters when time is running out, using a minimalist yet evocative approach that amplifies the weight of its story. The narrative centers on a student who, aware that the end of the world is imminent, continues with their daily life while internally grappling with the inevitable. The monotony of their final days is broken when a peer reaches out, proposing that they face the apocalypse together. From this simple premise, the story unfolds with touching moments of connection, vulnerability, and hope amidst despair. The writing strikes a delicate balance between melancholy and warmth, allowing players to experience a range of emotions as they journey through the protagonist’s final hours. The interactions between char…
