The game's story begins in the year 2121, in a world where the majority of human populace exhibit mutated abilities. This is a harsh environment for those who have no power whatsoever, with tragedy arising in their lives for the simple fact that they are not 'special'. Death sometimes seems like mercy.

It is in this world that you are born, raised... and killed. But your determination to live and finish your life's mission is too strong to diminish even after death, and it is with the aid of a mysterious otherworldly girl that you managed to return in the body of a dead teenager. To continue on, to unravel the secrets too dangerous to be learned. To avenge.


Features
Choose your gender and your vessel's gender, a total of 4 different combinations
5 Main Story Endings and 12 Character Route Endings
Estimated 4-15 hours of gameplay
150+ CGs
Mystery, romance, comedy, fantasy
Multiple story lines
Multiple character routes
Crafting System

Quests

====
So yeah, several of my friends are involved in this. I wrote one of the character routes (think Social Links from Persona series). It's honestly shaping up to be a pretty darn good thing, so yeah, if you're interested, check it out. And I can perhaps help answer questions you might have.

I can't say that I'd be personally interested in it because it's just not my type of game, but there are a ton of bad, half-assed visual novels on Steam and this does not look like one of them. Looks like some level of competence and effort went into it, so best of luck!

Yeah, this is their second VN, so at least they have some experience behind it. And I know firsthand just how hard they worked on it. Thanks so much!

Also, I submitted the game info to GameFAQs. If accepted, it'll be my first contribution. Yay.

They used RenPy, basically a programming framework for VNs in the Python language. There are several illustrators, a main writer, and a couple programmers. I was one of the people commissioned to write the character routes. It was hard to keep their tone and personality consistent with the characters, and they have to be mostly time-independent since we don't know when the players might initiate each interaction (though on the flip side, we could also decide to set triggers for each interaction).

Do you know how much it will cost? If it's even halfway reasonable, I'll get it and try it out

Thanks everyone for the interest and support!

There are some Let's Plays of the demo if anyone wants to take a deeper look:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjyD0kvraqk


And tl;dr of what makes the game worth your time:
Mystery and urban fantasy story with characters and dialogues that are not just cliches. Great production value, especially for an indie game.
Crazy high replayability (just to start with, you can play as either Adam or Eve, a soul of a criminal, who now shares the body of Katy or Jon, a teenager who was on a brink of death. So that's 4 combination of main characters you play, before all the quests, main story ending, and character routes.

Whoa, nice Raka. I will definitely try it out. I added it to my wishlist now, but tomorrow is my birthday and I might be able to convince another friend of mine who likes VNs to buy it for me. >.>

It's highly optional and the system is just about buying the right materials then putting them together.
