The story:


Humanity Must Perish is a Visual Novel with a single choice to determine the ending.


As an android whose sole purpose is to save planet Earth from destruction at the hands of mankind, Kyuu minces no words as she announces her plans to extinguish the human race.

For the sake of preserving planet Earth, humanity must perish. Failing that, mankind must be enslaved. Those are the only two options, and if Kyuu has her way, the former will soon become a reality.

Before she can do so, however, her creator makes a proposition: Kyuu will spend one day among regular, everyday human beings, judging for herself whether they are capable of meaningful change or not.

Kyuu accepts this proposition, and thus sets out into the world for the first time, coming face to face with a variety of odd individuals as she decides the fate of mankind.

Will Kyuu's colorful encounters show her the good in human society? Or will the bizarre antics of those who she meets reaffirm her belief that mankind must be destroyed?

Whatever her decision may be, the impressions Kyuu leaves on those she meets won't soon be forgotten. She is a harsh critic, and for a race as flawed as mankind, her observations and misunderstandings will be boundless.

Ratings and reviews

The game was ridiculously short. Even though I am more used to longer VNs such as Steins;Gate and Clannad, this was really good and the plot was decent, however has great potential to be a much longer VN. Gameplay with the text speed set to default is about an hour, and can easily be sped through with the text speed set to max. Music was absolutely fantastic by the way.

Good Job! This isn't so much a interactive novel as a visual novel but it is free, free of ads, super funny, has great illustrations, and was well written! I thought it was over when the credits rolled but it keeps going a little further. Doesn't take long to read but is a very enjoyable way to spend time. Thank you for the game I really enjoyed it 😊

Well, honestly.. It was, eh. I love visual novel stories. Even if it has Very little choices and or short. But this one's just.. Not for me. The story itself was, good. But the climax is just.. Non existent. It felt kind of boring. The characters feel kind of plain. But the art was good. I like the whole concept of the story too. But it just felt boring, that's all. So what I'm saying is.. The idea was good, but the execution was just eh. 🤷‍♀️
