The world ended when her father died. Many would say it ended well before that. Now she will journey beyond the valley of death in the hopes of finding new life. Who or what will she find? Will it all be worth it?
The past and present are held in the scales, weighed against the future. Who or what will remain, when the last judgment is made?

The Last Judgment is an adventure story, but a sorrowful one. Its setting is at once both alien and familiar. And the journey, while unique, is very much the same journey we all are on. Birth, life, aging, and death. Collectively, civilization follows this same cycle. As one dies, another rises from its ashes. From an outsider's perspective, one might be moved to ask: Should this cycle continue?
