About Winter Polaris
Winter Polaris is the latest visual novel from the creators of Narcissu and Ame no Marginal -Rain Marginal-
This visual novel is comprised of two stories, "Winter Polaris" and "Sweeper Swimmer".
Present-day Tokyo.
One day, the news starts reporting of a mysterious "disease" that is sweeping the world. People who become afflicted are reported to "disappear into thin air". As civilization slowly succumbs to the disease and grinds to a halt, the protagonist decides to flee to the mountains in hopes of avoiding the disease.
Years later, after the whole world has seemingly disappeared, the protagonist finds himself alone. In search of potential survivors like himself, he returns the ruins of a city. There he meets a girl waiting for him. While strange in many ways, the most bizarre is how she declares that she is an immortal.
Just what did she want with him?
Elena lives on a small rustic island in the sea, working as a courier by boat delivering cargo to nearby islands.
One day, after a storm, she heads off to make deliveries after a large storm passes overnight, she comes across a girl floating in the sea, luckily still just barely alive. Rescuing the girl from the water, the girl drops a mysterious glass object, one made with craftsmanship and technology beyond anything Elena recognized.
Where did this girl come from? And where did that glass come from?

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
the pacing for the first few chapters started off incredibly weak but the way the story ties everything together in such a gut-wrenching way is genius. 1000% worth the read if you don't mind a bit of slog
If it's boring just keep going, good content ahead.
That was sweet, I think. By the way, it's a coincidence but I think I read a Poul Anderson book with a very similar story once... of course, it was much less moe.
This is soo underrated, it was hella a ride • I know the art n CGs are horrible but damnn it has plot • It's emotional i think but I don't feel anything cz im dead inside Overall, try it it's cheap after all
In typical stage-nana fashion, we delve into a deep tragic tale. This time it takes place in a decayed world that is also renewing. Both the voice acting and music are pretty good. The artwork does a good job of establishing the mood but not being overly descriptive. If you have played other stage-nana works, such as Narcissu or Ame no Marginal, you may also enjoy Winter Polaris.
Yet another masterpiece from Tomo Kataoka sensei. A heavy story about life, love, and future in a post-apocalyptic world. Can we really live our lives to the fullest, even if we are immortal?
