Apocalypse Never
A downloadable game
"If you're late today, even by just one single minute... I'm going to put you six feet in the ground!!"
Lazy shut-in Seryozha is always late to everything, no matter what. But it seems his friend has finally had enough, so if he's late one more time, Seryozha's very life could be on the line. Good thing he woke up on time, but there’s one little problem...he’s locked in his house and can’t get out!
Apocalypse Never is a short comedic escape game created by Colonel using the RPG Maker VX Ace engine, and was first released on the 19th of October 2016. The English version was translated by HiragiHOUX, and released on the 30th of December 2016.
In 2021, it received an update featuring entirely new, stylish art, updated dialogue and graphics, and a brand new bonus scenario. That's this version.
Explore Seryozha's house, interact with items, and figure out how to escape...and don't be late!
The game takes roughly 15 minutes, so that's maybe 40 minutes to get all endings for the main scenario.

BTW THIS GAME IS FANTASTIC I REALLY LOVED IT!!
In mini-game I can get harmony and squabble ending but I can't get the last one please Help!
i also cant seem to get the quarrel ending ... did you find any way to get it yet ??? if so, please tell me ! id be thankful
I really enjoyed this game. I liked the characters and their designs, as well as the humor. The fight with the cockroach had me in stitches!
I can't get one of the endings of the mini-game I've gotten the harmony and the quarrel endings but how do I get other ending can someone tell me how to get it please
how can you get the quarrel ending? I can't get it
This game is funny and adorable and makes me grin like an idiot (≧∇≦)
However, I'm having difficulties getting all 3 of the minigame endings. I've gotten the 'harmony' and 'quarrel' endings but I can't seem to get the last one. I thought it might have something to do with the sake but I've bought it and nothing happened.
Not sure if it's a bug or if I missed something. Does anyone have any hints on how to get the last ending?
I loved playing this and I love the characters too. Thanks so much for translating it. :D
Spoilers?
I tried playing the minigame in the bonus room. The first time I used the perfume and got the "Squabble" ending. The second time I didn't use it but Seryozha said Hariton stunk like perfume again...I didn't even go in the bathroom! Then I got the same ending. So I think that might be a bug. I stopped trying to play it after that.
Thanks a lot for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Oh man, I'd thought I'd managed to patch out that sort of thing. There wasn't appropriate flagging in the original to make the minigame's event reset after playing, so I had added those in myself, but it seems something slipped through. I'm very sorry, but thank you for reporting this I'll try to fix it ASAP!
No worries! I hope it's an easy fix. :D
how did you get the squabble ending?
Hey, I can't totally remember. But I think what triggers it is using the perfume in the bathroom. Hope that helps. :)
it this a rebuild?
Hi! Not entirely sure what you mean by rebuild, but it's a remake of the 2016 game from the same author, Colonel, and a new translation by Hiragihoux. Colonel completely overhauled the graphics and did some changes here and there to the story. Hopefully that answers your question? I can try to explain or elaborate more if you have any more questions
so it not a rebuild. okay thanks <33
