Crystallised Latitude [Dark|Supernatural|GxB]

(Note: Crystallised Latitude is a loose sequel to Dear Mariko, and the page below may contain major spoilers for Dear Mariko. While the game is playable on its own without prior knowledge of Dear Mariko’s story, a few of the character descriptions in Crystallised Latitude do spoil the true ending of Dear Mariko, so be forewarned.)

Image

“That girl isn’t me.”

In the middle of the cold, dark, dead street in winter, a college girl tried to take her own life.

She was stopped only by the arrival of her strange, long-lost childhood friend, who promised to show her a magical new world full of hope, with no pocket knives or coils of rope. Only freedom, frozen within a pretty shell, created by a wizard. In this world, she meets a strange mix of people, with kind smiles and shadowed eyes. Her instincts tell her not to trust them, but they are kind. Oh, so very kind…

Crystallised Latitude is a story about one girl’s life, her pure dreams and ugly thoughts, and the reason why she made the decisions that she did. Shielding and protecting her is her mysterious childhood friend Mamoru, who made a bet with her a long time ago that she can’t quite remember.

Features
* Explore the painful memories of a girl as she traverses a magical world created by her childhood friend, and help her reach a resolution, both within herself, and with those people who matter to her in her life.
* The order in which you search through her memories determine what she finds the most important, influencing the eventual ending.
* In the magical world in which you travel through, meet a variety of characters who all seek help in doing something different in their lives, and help them resolve it. There are two ways to help each character reach a solution.
* Each ending focuses on a particular character, and forms part of the whole, culminating in an explanation of the girl's choices.
* Every ending you get will affect your next playthrough in some subtle ways.
* All this, in a visual novel about one girl's life.

Genre: Subtle Horror, Psychological, Supernatural
Warnings: Suicide, stalking, death and murder - Discretion Strongly Advised.

Best idea ever for a game. I will definitely play it when it is complete. The characters seem lovely and the plot is very interesting. Good luck on this amazing project. ^_^

I decided to just put the poem here, because, sometimes I'm not sure that my messages get sent - it seems to be a technical error. I hope you see this~

No feeling left, just tired and numb;

life has no happy outcome.


Release from this world is what I seek;

the future I see is cold and bleak.


You speak of Utopia, of a safe haven;

A sanctuary that I can hide in.


That place of freedom - does it exist?

Is it a dream - I sense something amiss.


Don't trick me - right now, I'm not stable.

Please tell me this isn't a fable.


If you can take me there, then I swear,

to not take my life, since you seem to care.


So, I'll accept your offer, and not be rude.

I'll embrace this Crystallised Latitude.

Ahhh thanks for the support! :) I'm glad you like the concept for the game.

In the meantime, I have made a new logo:

What do you guys think? Does it look better than the old one?

A new game by Coren-gē? Looking forward to it! I'll be interested in how the mystery of the girl unravels and how each playthrough affects the next.
And of course, Darien and Mariko 8)
Loving the new logo by the way! It certainly looks a lot more stylish.

Hey there! This project certainly looks interesting, even if dark supernatural stories are not my usual cup of tea. ;) I do like the element of being able to choose the memories that are most important to her to influence the ending. I've never seen that done before.

The art is lovely as well. I especially love the girl's whole look and design. Good luck!
