It is the year 202X in Salt Lake City, and Martha Heathcliff is getting used to everything going wrong. 

You spent the past what? 3 years carrying out your perfect little exit plan? And things seem to be going well! You're doing good in college (or so you think), and even better with your girlfriend, and then bam! It all happens at once.

You fail a class and it turns out you flunked the semester as well, and now all of a sudden your sweet and supportive girlfriend's starting to wonder if you're ever truly ready to talk about "us" with someone else in the room, and before you can deal with any of *that* some freakers from out of state starts biting people and it all just got so much worse somehow. 

A year goes by and your girlfriend’s gone, the scent of blood doesn't faze you anymore, and oh of course, your parents found out about her before they died too, and now all of your friends are either dead or pretending that you don't exist, fun right? Really makes you wish the apartment could swallow you whole sometimes.

But it could be worse, right? The isolation's bad but food's still coming in as long as you keep tricking the drones, the emergency stairwell doors are holding and you haven't had to see one of them in a month either, so all we need to do is wait it out right? You just need to sit here and wait it all out, just wait it all out.

Hapiru is a yuri romance visual novel with horror elements about dealing with grief, zombies, and the importance of community in times of disaster, but it’s mostly about getting adopted by more violent women.

The current demo represents about a fifth of what we have planned for both routes of the full game, and should last for about half an hour to an hour depending on the chosen route and your reading speed. 

Hen Can productions is a joint venture between best friends to make creative projects. Outside of Hapiru itself we’re also working on the mech action adventure webcomic Azure Desert, about a group of scavengers stranded on a water planet. We hope to expand into more projects as we continue.

As we are a new studio any support would be appreciated, whether it’s simply commenting on the page and recommending the demo to your friends or by signing up to our Patreon or buying us a Ko-fi through the links below.
