About Stella of The End
STORY
The world no longer belongs to humanity.
Giant machines now roam the earth, pushing mankind to the brink of extinction.
Jude Gray, a wandering Courier, receives a request to deliver some very special cargo. This cargo turns out to be Philia, an android girl who is unaffected by the enigmatic Singularity Machines.
Jude is left with no choice but to escort Philia to her destination, doing his best to protect her from harm and teach her how to survive in this harsh world. Together, they must traverse the hostile wilderness, avoiding threats both mechanical and human.
The whole time, Philia insists she's going to become human someday.
What awaits Jude and Philia at the end of the road? Can humanity really be saved, or is it already too late...?
CHARACTERS
An Android Who Dreams of Being Human
Philia
"If I become human... I can save everyone. I think."
An android girl discovered inside an ancient replicator capsule.
Ever since she opened her eyes, she's been fixated on finding a way to become human.
Philia has a bright, innocent personality and zero real life experience. It's up to Jude to teach her how the world works.
She's curious about everything around her and occasionally charges in without thinking about the consequences.
She also has a natural affinity with AI, being able to understand them on an almost instinctual level.
A Wandering Courier Just Trying to Get By
Jude Gray
"I have to protect you somehow, and shooting down threats is the only way I know how."
A man who makes his living as a traveling jack of all trades.
His knowledge of technology and engineering means he gravitates toward more specialized jobs, for better or worse.
Jude's mind is always on survival first and foremost. He doesn't allow himself to be influenced by emotions or any abstract sense of duty.
An avid gun enthusiast, he often gets so wrapped up preparing his gear that he loses track of time.
A Nobleman Working to Revive Humanity
Willem Grosvenor
"I have a dream. One I've harbored all my life."
This mysterious old man claims to be working on a project to take the world back from the Machines.
He has access to highly advanced technology that has kept him alive for over 100 years.
After contacting Jude via a drone delivery, Willem offers him a king's ransom to retrieve and deliver Philia.
He's only ever seen on video calls, making his actual whereabouts a mystery.
An Android Seeking Her Father
Delilah
"He's the one who taught me everything I know."
An android rescued from a gang of bandits, who appears to be the same model as Philia.
She's been treated badly, and now has a cracked-open head, a missing leg, and a multitude of other injuries.
She was separated from the man she calls her father, and is desperate to find him again.

Really enjoyed the music, art and especially the story, I'd highly recommend giving it a try if you're on the inbetween getting it or not.
Playing wuwa 3.1 story after this or vise versa would definitely make you a dad automatically Such a rare find its not that much deep complicated stuff but the emotions and the VA did a great job in the story and the writing itself is good enough to make u attached to the story. "A story about a machine-like human and a human-like machine"
8.5/10 Short, Simple, Emotionally Sad. Honestly great game, exactly what you're looking for, did make me cry near the end, but overall if you can buy it then play it,. The story is similar to Nier, in the sense of world building, and it got that bond developing between the characters that I liked for example in God of War (2018). I was hoping that there would be at least a choice near the end to see how the world would end up depending on your choice, but because there isn't that means you always make the correct choices. Near the end I was hoping for a choice at the very minimum, but then I realized that this is a kinetic novel (of which I've never played) which means it has no branching paths by nature. Sadly that's just not my cup of tea. But I needed to finish this game for someone so I'm not deducting major points because lil old me did not like it.
This is a visual novel, it's not really a game. Meaning it's more like reading a book with art and music. The story is really well written and I shed quite a lot of tears towards the end. Though I do have a criticism it's not really a deal breaker for me. It's actually better that somethings are not what I expect them to be. Reading is usually an emotional investment for me. So if you are reading this and buy this game, read it to the end, it will payoff. As for the rest of the game, it's art is amazing and it's sound track fits the atmosphere of the game perfectly. The amount of environmental art really made the journey of the game feel like an actual journey. The ascetic and atmosphere is very well done for it's setting. I wrote this right after finishing the game, and I am still reminiscing the journey our protagonist went through. And in the future I am willing to revisit this story.
Very good, short and emotional story. I really recommend it to whoever wants to play key games.
