For the people who want to try out the first test version, here is the link:



It contains a build for Windows and Mac. I think there's between 5-10 minutes of content if you read every line. There will be no gameplay, since this is my first game and coding game mechanics is something I can't do. I would have to hire a coder, but that would be out of my budget.

The next milestone will be completion of chapter 1, I am cleaning up the chapter and will change some things. Hopefully I can post the coloured version of the new female character in a day or two. The artist is working very hard on it.

Constructive criticism is very welcome, as long as your feedback gives me something I can work on to become a better writer. Please let me know what you think.

The pose changed a little bit. Contours and shadows are applied, now it's time to colour the image. I will show the nude and clothed version when they are done. Clothed version first, to tease you.

This is Jasmine, a succubus. Luna and Jasmine know each other. She is the owner of a brothel in the city and will help Luna on her quest to solve a mystery.

And of course the nude version.

Luna is a Huntress, a highly trained warrior who is able to wield different kinds of weapons and has the knowledge to slay many monsters and creatures. Not only because of their fierce power, but they also have the knowledge to plan out a strategy.

Foul creatures have been seen roaming around the walls of Amborella, and Luna goes there with the objective to solve this mystery.


I have taken inspiration from the Witcher. A lot has been changed since the first game idea, but I think this one is more interesting. I love writing more than programming, which means this game will be a visual novel.

I plan to offer you choices in the game, so that you can choose which scenes you would like to see, and which scenes you would skip. The game won't be very long, but content can be added as I go.

The goal for now is to polish the prologue and finish chapter 1. I will post a new version when it's ready.

Just one curiosity: seeing as you describe Luna as a huntress and fighter, do you intend to have a combat system or the fights, if any, will be just a narrative elment?
A battle mechanic would fit the game setting, but since I can't code and the game will be done in RenPy, I will not add it for now.

Choices in the game will influence which scenes you will see. I might add choices for different endings, but I want the base story to be good before I add side paths. I have two things to show you: a flowchart, but also a new sketch

If you want to see which choices can be made for the scenes, you can click the spoiler button below.

And a new sketch featuring Jasmine.

Update time!
The image above is the fully rendered image of the sketch I posted a while ago. I will not post the other versions of this scene (this image is part of a 4-image sequence), since it will spoil some of the content of the prologue. There are more scenes in the workings, and I will post new sketches as soon as the artist is done with them.

I have planned four chapters for the game. Chapter 1 is mostly done, but there needs to be more art and I need to write a few scenes for chapter 1. When the art for the prologue and chapter 1 is done, I will create the branching (branching in the sense of which scenes will be available for the player) and post the game on F95Zone. I am planning on monetizing this game, but I believe that constructive feedback and critique is needed to progress as a story writer. That's why I want to leverage the power of F95Zone before I put the completed game on Steam.

Let me know what you think! If you're interested in an early build, you can ask for it and I will create it for you. Have a nice weekend!
