Developer WSS Playground, known for the critically acclaimed game Needy Streamer Overload, recently announced a brand new title called Boyhood's End. The game, set to be released in Early Access on Steam this coming August, will support gameplay in English, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese languages.
According to the game's official Steam page, Boyhood's End is a juvenile science fiction horror adventure game, in which the world is ruled by a mechanical overlord "R. Karellen". Every aspect of every person's life is rated with a "human score", and R. Karellen decides everything from academic and professional careers, romantic interests, to one's daily meals.
The protagonist, Giovanni, has the lowest human score among the entire human race. Every day, he receives "special treatment" for everything including his meals and classes. On top of that, he gets bullied relentlessly by his classmates at the School, both in real life and online.
But one day, everything and everyone in the school starts attacking Giovanni, trying to "remake" him and raise his human score by making him "more human". A senior student, the famously eccentric genius Campanella, reaches out to Giovanni, and they hop onto (and take over) a driverless train on the galactic railroad. And so, Giovanni gets swept up in a journey to find the "Crimson Southern Cross", located at the farthest edge of the universe.
