[Sci-fi Thriller Visual Novel] - Existence: Way of Absolute-

[Sirlion]

So, this would be my first project, and I hope to make it real good.

I'm a big fan of the Infinity series by KID and Kotaro Uchikoshi's work, so this VN will have elements heavily inspired (but NOT copy-paste, I assure you) by Ever17, Remember11 and others.

Existence: Way of Absolute tells the story of Reiko, a young 24 years old psychologist that works for a pharmaceutical company specialized in biotechnologies.
She and her colleague, Hideo, are sent on a hypertechnological train called Transit 0, the first train ever to offer the same confort as a cruise liner, divide in 3 levels from top to bottom.
Their mission is vital for their company: a famous politician that's onboard the train must be stopped before he opposes to a law against biotechnology research and its implications in the field of weapons of mass
destruction. Since their company is also interested in biological weapons, his vote could determine the company's fate in a matter of seconds, therefore they need to intervene as quickly as possible, trying to persuade him not to vote.
But the mysterious disease that affects Reiko, the so called "Angel's Grave", prevents her from keeping up with his partner. Strange visions, paranoia, insanity... slowly, the world that surrounds her shatters to pieces.

"Whats going on? Who are these people? Where am I?"

Slowly, silently, the wheel has already began to turn. The hour hand is in motion. Time never stops. Time is omnipresent. The very essence of Reiko's life will be tested on a cruel escape from destiny.

"What is real? Who am I ?"

What should've been a simple mission becomes an unstoppable nightmare.


Now, a couple of screens:





Yes, its in italian. But its just the first language in which I'm going to translate it. I have plans to translate Existence in 3 languages: italian, english and czech. More could come after that, maybe german and even japanese.

Dont bother looking at the sprites, as they are... meh... lets say that I'm not good at drawing. At all. Consider them as placeholders until I find a good artist that could work for me.
As for the backgrounds, they are all made into a 3D program, I'm very skilled in 3D graphics and have no problem doing good quality BGs.

Hope that this project could interest you

I certainly enjoy complicated plots, so if you manage to polish up a good one I'll be interested.

I have to say that plots with philosophy stuff reall, really catch me. I didn´t get the point exactly, though, but it certainly is eyechatching. I really wish you luck and hope you update a demo soon

By the way~ are you going to release it in italian first?

Bye~

Heh, the story is kind of complicated indeed. I was very careful not to spoil anything. In fact, I didnt tell much... dont want to spoil the surprises, as there are many.

I was hoping to release both italian and english versions at the same time, to be honest, I dont see the point in releasing italian only first, as the number of italian VN fans is really low. I need a much bigger audience

[TsukiShima]

Oh ho, more Sci-fic stuff, I like. Like Nejisa, I don't completely understand, but I don't think I need to. The game would explain it. And you make beautiful bgs <3
I'll look forward for this!

Yeah, i thought so~
Actually, it is the same with me. I´m currently doing a visual novel in spanish but im planning to release it in english ASAP. Anyways, i just wish you luck and you must know that i will play the demo as soon as it is up

bye~

[Sirlion]

Wow its been a year since I came here I finally have some time to post some more
The project isnt dead, at all. To be honest I'm at 25 percent of completion and I'm very happy with the results.

How about some screenshot from the prologue:









My betatesters confirm the game plays nice for now hope to give you something more, like a demo, soon.
Uhm also, I'm still looking for musicians.

I'm a big fan on Infinity Series too ! ^_^
And I'm glad I found such topic that interest me here...(sci-fi, thriller, biothecnology, pharmaceutical company, strange disease and such...)
The premise so far is definitely interesting ! And don't worry about the quality of your sprites ! They're perfectly fine, and kudos for the great BGs too
By the way, the main character looks like...Kokoro Fuyukawa from Remember 11 ?! Yeah, it's definitely her ^_^

[Sirlion]

Hahah yes its Kokoro, the design was inspired by her. Thank you so much ^^

[tiya_nofurita]

Hahah yes its Kokoro, the design was inspired by her. Thank you so much ^^

And the guy next to Reiko looks like Yukidoh Satoru too

although the real Satoru is the guy with a black hair and formal dress. Lol. Remember 11 is surely mind-blowing
