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

    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]

    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.
