Synopsis
This is a visual novel containing two stories:
Gus and Gwen are new PhD students in plant biology. They begin to become friends as they struggle to navigate grief and foibles in this small slice-of-life fiction.
Ek'mer, the Celestial Paladin, must guide the Fae through Hell on their eleven-yearly procession. He is split from the group in pursuit of one fae-thing, who eventually leads him to capture and torment in the Forges of Hell.
Why
This visual novel contains approximately 9,000 hand-written words, and more than 75 illustrations composed using a variety of mixed media: paint, marker, pencil, highlighter, gel pens, lighting, and more.
It should take about 30-60 minutes to read.
Also, clearly, this game was made without the use of AI in any form. I hope you enjoy it.
