Now & Then sets a rule: your decisions carve the path between chaos and hope. Adoption here is more than paperwork; it’s a lifeline woven through hardship and trust. You’ll navigate dangers from the crumbling world outside and the emotional storms within. The rules demand more than survival skills - they require adaptability, empathy, and resilience.

Jack’s grief and determination are palpable as you make decisions that affect Carol’s future. You’ll decide when to fight, when to flee, and when to simply hold on for Carol’s sake. Dialogue choices and shared experiences determine if Jack and Carol become unbreakable or unravel.

The design draws inspiration from classic apocalyptic tales and the visceral tension of zombie lore. You'll encounter the haunting emptiness of deserted towns and the harsh reality of societal collapse. Your choices may save lives or condemn them, blurring clear lines between right and wrong.

Now & Then rewards thoughtful decision-making and emotional investment. By crafting a narrative that emphasizes character growth alongside survival, the game enriches the experience.

Every choice echoes beyond immediate consequences, shaping the unfolding drama. It's not just about avoiding death, but about seizing the fragile chance to rebuild something meaningful.

Ultimately, Now & Then proves that survival isn't solitary - it thrives on the bonds we create even in the darkest times.
