Because We're Here - Act III + Act IV

Act III and Act IV of Because We're Here ~Mohnblume und Blauerose~ are being released as one combined instalment. The acts are best experienced together, and the length of Acts III and IV combined is comparable to that of Act II.

May 1915, Wesslinger National Calendar.

The Battle of Vermorel is lost and won, with little celebration on either side. The survivors can only look to the future - but with the war rumbling ever onward, it is a future that cannot guarantee a place for them.

Act III sees Pvt. Rauss desperately try to save her friends in Windmill Corner from their ongoing collective nightmare. When an unexpected opportunity crosses her path that might offer the scrap of respite she has been longing for, she has little choice but to grab it and hold on for dear life.

Act IV is the culmination of everything Elfriede has been striving for. With the fate of her friends uncertain and the end of the First Lassallian War in sight, will there be anyone at all left standing when the guns fall silent?

• The Journey Concludes - Elfriede's harrowing odyssey finally continues. Acts III and IV see her circle of confidants contend with new and old challenges in equal measure, and feature an array of unique new pieces of CG art.

• Deuteragonist or Dual Protagonist? - Pvt. Ethel Winter of the Leylandian Telephone Corps returns, this time for extended sequences. Follow her as she encounters familiar faces and forms bonds of her own, as she hunts the person responsible for dimming the only light in her world.

Act III (Strange Meeting) and Act IV (Notes on the First Lassallian War) are the final two of Because We're Here's four acts. They conclude the story.

Estimated playthrough time is roughly equal in length to Act II. (Final count coming soon.)
