Asana Demo
About this game
ASANA Demo is the playable prologue for ASANA, a sci-fi dark comedy visual novel about an oblivious death-god captain, a judgmental cat-shaped ship AI, and a universe that keeps exploding in suspiciously personal ways.
This demo includes Chapters 1 (English, Italian, Spanish, and Japanese)
You play as Captain Asana, commander of the 82. A planet has just exploded behind you, your ship AI N.E.K.O. is acting like he knows more than he says, and Cat-Ptain Paradox is closing in fast. Build your starting stats, make choices, unlock stat-based options, and try to survive the opening disaster without making the universe noticeably worse.
What is included in this demo:
- Chapter 1: the opening disaster, stat setup, early character choices, and N.E.K.O. free-talk.
- Stat-based options for Captain, Explorer, Pilot, and Charm.
- Live AI scenes powered by the Anthropic Claude API.
- Offline fallback dialogue so the story can continue if the API is unavailable.
- About 10-15 minutes for one playthrough
The full game is planned as a longer multi-chapter visual novel with more AI-driven challenges, branching routes, character consequences, and escalating cosmic nonsense. 8 chapters for the first release
About the AI:
Some scenes use live AI text generation through the Anthropic Claude API. These moments require an internet connection. The AI is used for in-character conversations and structured gameplay challenges, not for core game logic, saves, or progression outside those scenes.

A sci-fi dark comedy visual novel. Build your stats, navigate branching paths, and argue with N.E.K.O., the ship’s godlike AI in cat form. Live AI conversations with multiple characters shape your path, making every run different. Every choice matters. N.E.K.O. is still not impressed.
