Petulantia

Petulantia is a 2D sci-fi visual novel for players who like military academy settings with a humorous, lighter touch beneath the dystopian backdrop. It plays out at a steady pace, mixing tension with playful moments among its cast.

Story

With Earth abandoned and humanity fleeing the machine army it once built, the survivors travel in a scattered convoy searching for a new home. The training ship Petulantia serves as a last-resort academy, where former fighter pilot Commander Viktor Bratt is tasked with shaping a group of unruly cadets into the pilots the fleet needs before the Syntras catch up with them.

Gameplay

The player follows Bratt's daily routine aboard the Petulantia, moving through dialogue-driven scenes as he trains his cadets, manages tensions among the crew, and deals with the ship's deteriorating equipment. Story progression unlocks new locations aboard the ship and moves the war with the Syntras forward, with occasional combat-related sequences tied to the fleet's old fighter craft.

Features

• Static 2D artwork paired with animated scenes throughout key moments
• A cast of cadets with distinct personalities under one commanding officer
