WASTE EATER by cain

After a global revolution dealt a final death blow to the world’s crumbling industries, researchers and activists were left to pick up the pieces of their planet’s ruined ecosystems. Their solution was simple: they turned themselves into pollution-eating mutants.  
Now, over half a century later, the rivers are blue again and the birds have learned new songs. A beautiful world is stepping out of the husk of the old.  
And the last waste-eater is waiting to die.  

WASTE EATER is a 10-15 minute introspective about losing your humanity, and finding hope instead. Inspired by games like Far From Noise and Breathe.
This game contains references to topics such as death and suicide. Oh, and cannibalism.
