I hate prophetic dreams. I say this as someone about to have one.
-Tetrine Reish

You play as Tetrine Reish. You hid your ability to read and write Nell Magic for years - until your secret got you killed (in the events of Asher). Alive once more, but forever changed, you must learn your magic and uncover the truth before the Empress' Shadow hunts you down, and has you killed again - this time permanently.

Part visual novel, part point 'n click, solve puzzles and navigate choices that affect the protagonist's personality, relationships with other characters--and that ultimately affect the outcome of the story.

Author's note
Well, it's been in development for a while. But I wasn't sure I was going to make it a visual novel. But now I'm positive it's got heavy visual novel style story branching and dialogue sequences, so I'm posting it here. It's made in Unity. Art and story by me. (Part of why it's taken so long is I taught myself 3D modeling).

The Empress of Aeser is fully voiced, including narration.

Any or all of the above may change.

What I hope to get out of this thread

Mostly I'm here to post. I'm not sure whether Discord or Reddit stole all the users from this forum, but it's deader than I remember and I don't like it. So I'd be shocked if I got more than a handful of replies.

The main critique I'm interested in is the answer to this question: are you interested in buying the game, why or why not? Also, what is the question that I am not answering about this game that you would like answered?

Pricing
I think it will be $4.99. May be more or less depending on how long it ends up.

People always ask for character bios and I never remember.

Except this time!

So without further ado, the villain of the piece:

I'll update THIS post with character bios as I finalize more art.

Automated lipsyncing + blinking + animation now works.

This game is also partially voiced. Maybe fully voiced at some point.
