I've finished my latest visual novel project, "Lífþrasir Main". Here's all I have to say about the plot:


And there are two attainable endings.

For screenshots, check the Works in Progress thread.

You can download version 1.1 the game, made with Ren'Py 6.9.1h, here:

Windows 2000+: http://www.mediafire.com/?smjyekt42j4

Linux x86: http://www.mediafire.com/?feymmjwmbyx

Mac OS X 10.4+: http://www.mediafire.com/?z2nuqx19dq1

This version fixes some textual errors, including a repeated misspelling of theremin and ambiguity about a certain character's name.

Here are the Internet sources of public domain images I used:

Any other images in the game were created by me.

Please let me know what you think.

Peace,

I, uh. So, I attained both endings.



I went "WTF?" most the the way through, then I saw the sources for all you images and went "hm?" and then wiki'd up all the non-English words and went "oh" and now I think I shouldn't try playing sequels before the originals ever again after I went to the WIP thread and re-found out that this is a sequel. (that was long)

So, I played it but I don't really have comments right now.

I don't think that playing "The Endling Archive" would have helped you much. I have to admit the plot is a tad obscure, and rather removed from that of the other work. And the fact that most of the characters have three names each doesn't help much. Here's a list of them:



Hope that helps a bit. It's mostly information you wouldn't find in "The Endling Archive".

Fascinating. Got both endings.

I like the presentation - it's definitely a unique way to use Ren'py and it felt like more like a simulator than a visual novel. The story was pretty interesting once I finally understood it. And I like the fact that you included a thereminist. I really like theremins. XD I'm a little disappointed that the text speed is fixed. It moves slower than I read, so waiting for each line to pass was somewhat aggravating (although I assume that's on purpose).

Thanks for the comments, sake-bento. Regarding the text speed, I didn't really want it to be aggravating, but I wanted it to be a fairly believable approximation of the average person's typing speed. Of course, you can hit "Enter" (or "Return" or whatever) to print the rest of the current line instantly. If it's really bugging you, you can edit the "script.rpy" file.

Nah, I did the "enter" thing and it worked out just fine. A couple times I skipped lines, but rollback is happiness. XD

It was a really strange and original game / story (there is so little interaction), I enjoyed the mood of it, even if I didn't understand all.
