A downloadable game for Windows

I put this demo together VERY quickly (some branches don't have proper endings and I haven't actually tested it that well. Issues I'm aware of at the bottom of the page) I did not test everything, though, and I very much expect there to still be issues

Note:  A lot of Damien's condition in the first chapter is based off of my own "auras" I get with epilepsy. This kind of thing can bother other epileptics, depending on their symptoms so please take this into consideration (I tried to keep flashing to a minimum, though the sound may still bother some people)

Synopsis:

Inspector Damien Holden, after barely getting his job under the global government, is the only one to survive an attack by a mysterious and shadowy mountain tribe leading into a manifold of events, including some revelations of the inspector's own tenuous history.

So far only chapter one is coded (and it's not really fully coded at this point. I just wanted to get something done)

Current Issues I know about (and you should, too):

  • There's a mature warning at the beginning and an option that currently doesn't do much (sorry about this) 
  • The game only autosaves and only has one save file
  • There's no general menu and the title screen is basic
  • Options can't be accessed in game
  • Some branches don't have a proper ending currently

Current release build is using RPG Maker MZ (just to have something) but it's really not what I want it to be (unfortunately my computer isn't all that powerful and I lost my dev PC) 

What I'm going to be doing instead is trying to code it myself using threejs (I already tried Ren'Py, and that didn't really work out all that well for what I want either. I don't really like Godot, and my mind doesn't deal with C# that well, so I don't touch Unity) I'm already pretty much using threejs to show the models right now, it's just abstracted by RPG Maker, and I don't really need all of the databases and everything that RPG Maker has.

I wanted to build it in something lighter weight than Unreal Engine because I know there's probably a lot of people out there like me who can't actually run newer games all that well (and not everyone can afford the cutting edge newest hardware) 

I'm opening the game page to share the development a bit more (I'm hoping to also record my work more) since there actually isn't a lot of information on this (I get visual novels are a niche, and it really doesn't help that the majority of 3D based ones are VERY adult)  


Story available on  FictionPress,  inkspired, and Wattpad (inkitt version is currently down)

I have this under donation, so you don't have to pay if you don't want (I do this for everything I put up; I don't want anyone to feel obligated to pay especially if they're struggling)

Both the zip and 7z are the same. It's more a proof of concept at the moment than an actual game (I might take it down after I get some work done on the pure threejs version)

Current Issues I know about (and you should, too):

  • There's a mature warning at the beginning and an option that currently doesn't do much (sorry about this)
