VN Ren'Py Courting Death [v0.1.0 Demo] [meteorbeta]

[7767]

Overview:
Courting Death is a hand-drawn adult visual novel set in a gritty post-cyberpunk future, where mystery, violence, and consequence define every path you take.

You play as Archie Dixon, a recently transferred detective in Noris PD — one half of the divided Neopolis City. Haunted by a mission gone wrong and the death of a young girl, Archie finds a mysterious pill in her hand — a clue that pulls him into something far deeper. Alongside his partner Hugo Laurent, he begins to unravel a conspiracy rooted in drugs, trafficking, prostitution, and sexual exploitation — one that cuts through layers of power, corruption, and human connection.

Need force skipping

 

[Noxedia]

Okay but why does this sound like True Detective took a tequila shot, blacked out, and woke up in Blade Runner with a raging boner and trust issues

''Are you Courting Death?!'' - Xianxia young masters for some reason

Wow... I used to really enjoy watching Donghua (I don't anymore), and the title was inspired by that.
I never thought people would notice that

Need force skipping

I intentionally disabled the Skip and Back features to preserve the pacing and tension of the story, especially during time-limited choices and critical moments.
That said, I understand the need for convenience, so if compatibility issues ever arise in future updates (for example older saves not working, but i hope that will never happen), I might consider re-enabling the Skip function to help returning players catch up more easily.

Haven't played this yet, since I always wait a few updates and I'm very particular about the tags I enjoy in games, and I'm not sure what to expect from this game in that regard.

Spoiler: My opinion on Rollback

Anyway, sorry for the rant, I can be long winded, and I hope you take this as it was intended, as constructive feedback. Whatever the case I wish you the best of luck and hope you do well.

PS: I put the majority of the post in the spoiler tab, it's my full thoughts about rollback and skip functions. But the TLDR is this; I think it is a bad idea to remove those features. Read the full post for my reason why, I feel like it is pretty compelling, but I also realize that, as I said, I can rant.
