The Good Weapon
A downloadable visual novel for Windows, macOS, and Linux
A malevolence lurks outside your bunker. Fathomless, omnipotent, and deadly, it devours the world with each passing day.
The three of you swore to kill it--no matter the cost. Even if it means you've got to nuke everything. Ordinary (good) people won't do it. They can't fathom the horror.
Evil acts out of necessity. Villains know what must be done.
Yet your leader's having second thoughts. She's getting cold feet; and if the two of you can't convince her to use the weapon, then maybe it's time to take matters into your own hands.
Are you ready to save the world?
- three villainous characters (that may or may not be redeemable)
- choices! (followed by J U D G M E N T)
- an inexplicable sense of impending doom

Enjoyed the game; kinda expected the nukes to be a test by Vigil itself to determine if you were ultimately focusing in the results and so if you were useful to them, but anyway, it was a thoughtful experience, thank you for making it
Such an Amazing Game! had such a fun time playing though it. Admittedly, I found it through the indiepocalypse bundle, but im SO glad i found it!
Thank you so much!
Amazing writing, loved all the stuff you were able to do visually with text placement especially, super creative and exciting to read through.
Also allowed me to hear some stuff I really needed to hear, gave me a lil hope. I don't think I can thank you enough for that, thank you for making this <3
Thank you very much for the kind words <3
one of the best games out there. truly changes your perspective.
This is such a nice comment, thank youuuuu
I tried writing a good comment to convince you to play it, but I can't think of ways to express how much I enjoyed the short (but very well used) time I spent playing it.
It's like finding your new favorite short film on youtube.
Thank you so much!!!
Amazing job on the writing! Everything was smooth as butter. It felt like I read a 10h story in 30 minutes, just wow. Keep up the fantastic work!
Thank you so much for the kind comments!
Amazing writing and the climactic showdown really blew me away!
Short, sharp, sinister.
Brought back some deep memories of The Silver Case 🖤
Hey this looks rad! Gonna give it a play sometime next week when I get a chance.
Thank you! I hope you have fun!
