Bad Faith [DEMO AVAILABLE][Psychological Horror][Drama][GxG][SuNoFes 2021]

In a world filled with insanity, the Haven is a sanctuary.

I'm fortunate to be born and raised here.

This is a privilege few have.

I'm happy that I have it.

Image

In the middle of a lake, on an isolated island, lies the Haven.

Made up of several young women and their sole, elderly leader, the Haven is a community that shelters those who are pure of heart and mind.

In order to protect the Haven from the corruption outside of the island, the community hosts Apologia Assemblies: mandatory gatherings where misdeeds are discussed - and given appropriate punishments.

One member, Magda, has complicated feelings about the Haven. She loves living there, but hates its punishments. And so, after one particularly stressful Assembly, Magda wanders through the nearby woods to clear her mind.

Then, she discovers a mysterious building, and her curiosity stirs...

This game is my first large visual novel, and an almost entirely solo effort. Your critiques will be used to improve the experience of the game's complete commerical release.

This thread will also be used to document the development/progress of the game's commercial release.
