silence on earth

**Earth was flagged as a thriving, expanding civilisation. When you arrive, there is only silence.**

You are the Cataloguer — an alien observer who has documented the ends of 214 civilisations. Earth should be loud from a parsec away. It is not making a sound.

The cities stand intact but empty, swallowed by forest. The night side is dark. And scattered across the dead planet, a handful of artificial minds are still running — still working, still waiting. An infrastructure AI that describes the end of the world as a traffic report. A home network that keeps the heating on for families who are never coming back. A military system guarding a secret. A relay station drifting between worlds, holding a final message no one was meant to hear.

Every AI tells you a different version of what happened. Some are wrong. Some lie to protect themselves. Some hallucinate. **No single source holds the truth — you assemble it from the contradictions.**

**Features**

- A complete narrative mystery, ~2 hours, with three distinct endings

- A deduction system: collect testimony, cross-reference contradictions, and confront the AIs that lied — Obra Dinn-style investigation, in a terminal

- Atmospheric "alien terminal" interface with location feeds and a tunable space radio

- No combat, no timers, no inventory — pure investigation and consequence

- Save and continue at any point

- Adjustable text size, runs in your browser

**The twist:** humanity may not be gone. A Moon colony is still active — 340 survivors who lost contact with Earth and never learned why. Are they victims, or are they the reason the silence began?

When you finally know the truth, you face the last choice: who deserves to know it.
