LONELINESS AFTER: Chapter 1

LONELINESS AFTER: Chapter 1

In this game there is a story. The story of one person who is … You can not even immediately determine where he is and how he feels. You can only safely say that he is not comfortable and even scared. Only the darkness surrounding him, strange sounds, seclusion from oneself - all this only aggravates the situation. But that does not happen, he should answer himself to a few questions:

  • Who am I?

  • Where I am?

  • What happened?

This person is called … He does not have a name, he only has himself as a physical entity. He will have to go through the world that surrounds him at this moment, meet with the danger, waiting for him in a motionless sleep, to feel the drama of history that people tell him around. A person seems to be familiar with the place, it evokes some memories, and each time new ones. A new place in the darkness that a person will visit will remind him of something. But, what do these moments mean? Are they real? The question is more than the answers.

The surrounding world is similar to the Middle Ages. A secluded little house, bridges, a small village … The surrounding is imbued with the atmosphere of the past and gloom. The darkness that comes after you. Once the bright trees, now only a contour in the darkness, adorned this world. But all life around froze, only darkness and horrors in it do not doze.

The game has an atmosphere of a dark place, sometimes frightening, which has its terrible and dreary moments. The player, feeling the situation and the proposed circumstances, can feel sadness, sadness, sadness and other feelings *. Difficult to move around the world the player faces dangers, key moments. The player can find items that will help in passing the game, are an integral part of the game. Not finding any objects a player may encounter difficulty passing. Carefully read and listen ** what is happening around.

  • You will not find direct answers in the game, only analytical activity will help you, as a player, to understand what happened.

  • You need to be very careful not to miss important things for the game.

  • Curiosity, immersion in circumstances - all this will help you to find the right decision.

  • Absurdity, complexity, incomprehensibility - all this will haunt you in the game.

  • Does not affect all players, only a certain percentage. The effect is not guaranteed.

** The text is partially, but quite identical to the soundtrack.

Untale: King of Revinia

Untale: King of Revinia

I mean this is a probably one of the best visual novels ever made…like easily. I think the only visual novel that is better is Seeds of Chaos. If you are going to make a visual novel you have to dedicate considerable time to the story, art direction, and ability for the player to make choices that have an effect on the story. For some reason I don’t understand, almost no visual novels can meet that minimum standard. Untale doesn’t just meet those standards it exceeds them. The amount of different choices you have in this game is quite stunning and it’s clear a ton of work was put into making the outcomes of these choices make logical sense. Even the music here is great, I think they could use more music, but it’s probably the most robust visual novel soundtrack except for probably Lady Killer in a Bind’s amazing jazz score.

The art of the game is good, the story/plot is interessing and the characters are quite interessing.

Why I do not recommend it ? Because playing a “power less” guy that just do is best to survive is frustrating. And the save mechanism really help to keep the frustration very high.. ( please restart from the beginning and remember you choice… such a pain… ).

I also dont like the “combat” behavior ( being able to skip the minigame once done was a good idea… why keeping the combat ? ).

I’m sad because I really find the ambiance good but keeping trying to find the less bad ending is not where I take pleasure to play.

The Craft of the Samurai

The Craft of the Samurai

This is a story and not a game, as it says more or less on the tin, so to speak. It is worth your time, you can read it at your own pace. It doesn’t have filler or pointless choices like some games have. The art work is excellent. Nice music. If you enjoy short stories and anything samurai, at this price you have nothing to lose. It took me just over an hour to finish it. I hope the Dev plans on making more stories of the same story quality and using the same artist.

Short and Sweet.

I appreciate the developer providing exactly what to expect with the visual novel, and that it was reasonably priced. I only heard about this game through some indie game YouTube channels, so I’m glad there’s some exposure to this for what may get lost in the shuffle of the many games appearing on Steam daily.

The overall presentation was good. The art, sound effects and most of the music complimented the short story well and fits the homages being paid here. I only wish there was even more art to fit the narrative, but I’d expect it to be a limitation.

Cute visual novel. Though some of the back story is not… Anyway, decent read. There are choices, but they don’t seem to matter much. Might suggest getting on discount.

Art of Deception

Assassination game similar to The Deed but longer & contain more story

The only cons i can think is the translation while decent is not perfect(Originally russian indie game)

the menu remain in russian though through trial and error i can guess which is one is load/save/item

All in all it’s worth it for a few dollars

Too bad the translation is incomplete in the last part..all russian..didnt understand single things

Chronotopia: Second Skin

Chronotopia: Second Skin

~~~~~~~~ Fairytale princess dies; she gets better. Love in the bargain. ~~~~~~~~

The plan was supposed to be simple, almost ridiculously so.

When her father, driven mad by years of grief, suddenly decided to force her into marrying him, Princess Kionna enlisted the help of her childhood friend. Together, they managed to contact her long-lost fairy godmother. Surely, her powers would save her from this hellish fate. Kionna would be able to escape the castle, a prince charming would find her, and they would live happily ever after.

Alas, magic can only do as much. Things keep spinning out of control. Trapped in an endless nightmare, the princess ceaselessly rewinds time in a race with death itself. Is a happy ending truly waiting for her at the end of the tunnel?

Kionna perfectly encapsulates what you would expect from a fairytale princess. Naive and sheltered, she means to do good but comes across as haughty due to her upbringing.

Unfortunately for Kionna, she cannot rely on others forever. To escape her fate, she will have to learn to fight for herself…

Nahima’s whole world revolves around Kionna. She has been her confidant for as long as she can remember and she is dead set on staying this way.

Deep down, she knows this is impossible but she is not ready to let go. After all, if Kionna truly leaves, she wouldn’t have use for her anymore, would she?

Médeia is not quite the traditional fairy godmother. She makes it abundantly clear she is not interested in becoming Kionna’s magical sidekick. The sooner she helps her, the sooner she can return to the magical realm. And that is all that matters as far as she is concerned.

Or is it? For someone who always appears so unfazed, she seems to care an awful lot…

While life is not as convenient as Kionna had hoped, her dream might not be completely out of her reach. Indeed, there are numerous handsome lords in her vicinity who would make perfectly fine suitors. Could one of them be her Prince Charming?

  • A captivating plot full of unexpected twists and existential dread

  • Over 200 000 words of content with multiple endings (20-30 hours of playtime)

  • 2 GxG (Nahima and Médeia) and 1 GxB (the “Prince”) romances can be chosen at the end of Kionna’s journey

  • Unlockable archives connecting the story to real-life European folklore

  • Several gameplay phases to experience the semi-realistic medieval world in a different light

  • Beautiful artwork, with animated backgrounds and special stained-glass illustrations

  • Frequent use of cinematic shots to make the reading more immersive

  • A full original soundtrack with celtic influences

  • Available in both English and French!

League of Angels-Heaven’s Fury

It’s an ok idler, the issue is that those who are friends with the GM’s get perks and will work to get any banned who they see as a threat. I can say Bullying, dossing etc allowed w/o reprocussions. Cuss a few times without cashing thousands and you will be banned or muted in the game. I stopped playing after having reported several incidents of bullying as well as anti-disabled words and intolerance towards health issues was clearly shown and nothing was done. This game is for rich, spiteful, intolerant people who just want to bully those who if they attempt to stand up for themselves chance being banned or serve wide muted.

Guys, you are looking at the game the wrong way, I’ve read so many bad reviews about this game but that because they are judging this game under MMORPG standards, it’s not like that, this game is more like a CASINO, and like a casino the game is as simple as can be with a lot of sparkling lights and sounds of ringing bells where you need to spend money to keep wining and moving forward because the main objective is not to PvP other with your mad skills or extrem farming but to spend more than others to advance your growth, you compete against other to see who spends the most, that is how the game was meant to be.

Made Marion

Made Marion

DEMO AVAILABLE! Check the lil' download button on the right!

What do you do when your best isn’t good enough?

Lady Marion of Glastonbury is going to have to figure that out, and fast. Removed from her position of power and thrust into an unwanted arranged marriage, she finds herself careening through Sherwood Forest toward the troubled town of Nottingham.

Released from the confines of her previous life, who will Marion become? A freedom fighter? A knight-at-arms? A reluctant spy? Will she help create peace in Nottingham or hasten the coming confrontation between the strict Sheriff and the rebel Robin Hood?

And will a woman who resisted marriage end up finding love where she least expects it?

Find out when you’re… Made Marion.

A Romantic Action-Adventure Story

Made Marion is an otome visual novel - a romantic story primarily aimed at women, though of course all genders are welcome to play! It’s inspired by the tales of Robin Hood, but with many of its own twists.

Welcome to Avalon, an alternate-world Medieval kingdom in which humanity exists in a sometimes-uneasy balance with the mystical fae folk. Avalon’s hero-king Richard has gone missing, the nation is deep in debt from a recent war, and the commoners are agitating for more representation in government.

Step into the shoes of the proud young noblewoman Marion and guide her adventure in a richly-detailed fantasy world thick with political machinations and mystical intrigue. Decide who to trust and who to love. Can Marion make the right choices to save Nottingham from a dire fate?

Features:

Gorgeous Graphics with a Celtic Flair: Enjoy our beautiful, expressive characters and a unique world inspired by a variety of Northern European cultures. Celtic design elements are threaded through our character and background designs.

Proactive Heroine: Her name is in the game’s title for a reason! Marion isn’t just along for the ride; she drives the plot forward in many ways and has her own goals and desires.

One Big Choice, Two Different Worlds: After the game’s prologue, you’ll make a big choice that either sends you to Sherwood Forest or the city of Nottingham. Each side has a different cast to romance, and the two sides have a different feeling to them. Sherwood is a swashbuckling action-adventure, while Nottingham has more political intrigue and spy hijinks.

Role-Playing Choices: Instead of using a traditional affection meter, you’ll be making major role-playing choices in each route that lead to two possible happy endings. Choose to be clever or straightforward with the flirtatious Robin. Make idealistic or pragmatic choices with Geoffrey and Gui. It’s up to you, and you won’t be punished with a bad end for your personality choices.

Meaningful Bad Ends: Our bad endings are designed to be logical and interesting, giving hints about the wider story and world or showing a different side of the game’s characters. They’re also easily reversed, as they come from one-off choices.]

Made for Adults: We’re a sex-positive, LGBT-friendly otome game aimed at adult readers, with an over-18 cast. We aim to be mature without being “edgy” and to portray sex as a part of the characters' developing relationships.

New Features Incoming

Thanks to our successful Kickstarter (we love our backers!), Made Marion will be receiving a number of enhancements beyond what’s shown in the demo. We’re already implementing them in the full game, and we’re very excited about them!

  • 5 CG illustrations per love interest (35 total)

  • Ambient Sound

  • Cut-in illustrations to add interest to longer scenes

  • Sprites for animals and fae creatures (hug a greatstag!)

  • Animations to spice up (literal) magical moments

  • Improved glossary

  • More accessibility options (always planned, but now being implemented)

  • Alanna’s bard songs now have professionally recorded backing tracks and will be recorded in a sound studio instead of on an at-home mic.

  • And more!

Meet the Love Interests

Robin of Locksley: A deposed lord who is leading a rebellion against the autocratic Lord Geoffrey of Nottingham. A strong and capable leader with a tendency to hide his true feelings behind a wall of jocularity.

John: Robin’s second-in-command, a gentle giant of a man battling inner demons from his tragic past.

Will, the Scarlet Blade: John’s half-brother, a daredevil swordsman with several large chips on his shoulder.

Lord Geoffrey: Known locally by the derogatory nickname of “The Sheriff,” this stern lord is determined to rule by law, even if the law entails some very onerous taxes. Can Marion uncover the reasons behind his harsh policies?

Meissa: A mysterious, mischievous sage from an enemy land. Kind and compassionate, they harbor a dangerous secret.

Alanna Dale: A merry bard in Geoffrey’s court. Easy to fall in love with but difficult to truly know, she guards herself with layers of lies.

Gui la Londe: A gorgeous, graceful chevalier who is a confidant of Lord Geoffrey’s despite their very different worldviews. He would like to recruit Marion for an important mission of behalf of the Crown.
