On the verge of death of a life unlived, Wyatt Heyll was given The Sorrowvirus by his parents, a substance that suspends the human soul in Purgatory after death; allowing them to heal due to Purgatory’s mysterious properties. As he ebbs, Wyatt’s only desire is to be free, forever.
## About This Game
“Over, and over again… It’ll never end.”
## Premise
Part of the “Faceless Short Stories”, The Sorrowvirus: A Faceless Short Story
follows the journey of a young man named Wyatt Heyll, who, from a very young
age, has been stricken with a multitude of ailments, cancers and illnesses. On
the verge of death, his parents gave him a paranormal substance known as the
Sorrowvirus, which contaminates the human soul; preventing it from passing
onto the afterlife when they die.
This causes them to fall to Purgatory instead, where they can heal and
eventually return to life. However, every time Wyatt comes back to life, his
cancers and illnesses return quicker than before. Wyatt’s parents allow him to
continue dying over and over while they perform research on organic particles
found in Purgatory that may cure him once and for all.
## Gameplay
Wyatt, having died so many times, simply wants to let go; both his mind and
soul are shattered. Your objective is to set Wyatt free from his everlasting
torment. With four endings in sight, only one is the true ending, will you
endeavour to help Wyatt set himself free?
