  • Summary: What's better than a sensual summer retreat in the South of Italy? Join Claudio, Andrea, and Mida in their travels as they try to recover from the collective trauma of the 2020 pandemic.

    Three young men in their early 20s reconnect after two years of forced isolation, hoping to rekindle their friendship; an exceptional bond that made the trio truly special! A mythological force well beyond the sum of its parts! Or so they think...

    As you pick their activities for the day, you'll discover their darkest fears, their obsessions, and, as the reality of their failed expectations become apparent, their thirst for revenge and retribution.

    A lazy afternoon by the pool, a lustful night at the club, or even a morbid visit to the local cemetery: you'll decide how to spend this summer vacation, but wherever you go, something or someone will be waiting, offering an additional, forbidden trip through the arcane inner spaces of conscience.    … Expand

    Mediterranea Inferno challenges the narrative, social and emotional conventions of what we've already seen in visual novels, and gets it right by problematizing conveniences in a bold and incisive way, without being shy about saying, showing or poking at topics that are still so sensitive in a world that prefers to ignore its own scars.

    Mediterranea Inferno is an achievement in storytelling - not only through it's uniquely direct tackling of the effects of COVID-19 on young adults, but in how it uses the most outlandish, awe-inspiring visuals and sounds to tell that story.

    A dazzling and provocative visual novel about post-Covid trauma and the horror of desire and indulgence. This is a winning narrative that’s no mere mirage. [Issue#39, p.96]

    A surreal and unsettling work of interactive fiction, that examines not just the end of Covid lockdown but issues of friendship, passion, and murder.
