Six hundred years after the Collapse, the old world is gone: no governments, no borders, nothing left but the ruins people learned to survive in. Three years ago, you and three others walked out of a dying storm and found a sealed door that shouldn't have existed. What was behind it became the only real home any of you have had since the world ended. Now a signal has come through the radio. Old.

Encrypted. It's calling from beyond the Gorge, a place nothing has ever crossed and come back from. You are the only one willing to go. The Next Step is a dark, story-driven adult visual novel set in a ruined world, about the bonds worth risking everything for.
