The world is coming to an end. The cities are crumbling, the fields lie barren, life already gone. In the dark, a fleeting spirit reaches out to a child. Setting out into a world of remnants, they travel together, to save what can be saved, and to understand. Empathy is an adventure game with emphasis on story telling and exploration. A game about emotions, good intentions and desperate measures, where you embark on a journey through a dying world to discover its story and wonders. Together, the Spirit and the Child travel along the Road, a road between existences, filled with memories and echos of the past. Behind them, the crumbling world, in front, a glimpse of hope. Where will their journey take them?
Follow the tracks. It should have been easy. The trains used to cut through here, you could feel the vibrations of their passage all the way in the park above, but the tunnel is blocked now. Rocks and concrete knocked loose by some greater disturbance. Then there must be another way. Up, around, and back to the tracks and to the station beyond. The end of the line. Follow the tracks.
