## Description
Following a devastating atomic war between USA and Soviet Union, the Earth has
plunged into chaos and destruction in the 1990-ies. It was not until the
middle of the 21th century that humanity started to recover from its losses.
Earth was nearly abandoned, and representative of the most powerful countries
concentrated on space colonization projects. The Americans founded an
organization called NSCA (National Space Colonized Association). Their
project, SC (Space Colony), was a huge tower, comparable to the mythical Tower
of Babel. This is also the home of the game’s protagonist, who returns after
prolonged space travels, and soon becomes involved in a complex struggle
between countries and political organizations.
The fifth installment of System Sacom’s _Novel Ware_ series, _38000 Kilo no
Kok ū_ is essentially a visual novel. The majority of the game consists of
text – dialogues, descriptions of the hero’s thoughts and actions, and an
extensive database concerning the scientific/political background of the game.
Though graphical images (usually of people) are displayed by default in small
windows, they can be turned off. The player follows the story, sometimes
altering its course by selecting an action/response when such a choice is
given to him by the game.
