VN Ren'Py Heartsworn Abyss: NighTmaRes [v0.56] [sky blue aster]

[skyblueaster]

Doesn't quite live up to the promise of completely avoidable if you need a guide to pull it off... Just saying.

Hello!

It’s completely avoidable. Many of my readers have unlocked both paths without needing outside help.
It’s comparable to Dark Souls, really hard at first, but the choices get intuitive the more you play.

Perhaps not avoidable for a first playthrough, but it’s intended to be challenging and my game is inspired by JP VNs with less-than-obvious choices. I still think it’s easier to fully complete than the obscure decisions in those VNs. (Hello Kara no Shoujo.)

Man, KnS was a pain if it’s the one I think it is… the murder mystery visual novels get convoluted for my monkey brain. As pertains to absolute VN vaguearies… Hello, Fate/Sray Night trilogy!

made by humans for humans!​

What a quote haha
probably will get more common over the next years too.

Hehe. I have to clarify this because otherwise people will go:
"Great art, what AI model do you use?"

Actually, it’s called paying Japanese artists good money.
Our artwork is composed of hundreds of layers and L2D-ready, which I hope to start soon (funds permitting).

Everything I earn goes toward art, voice acting, and paying real people for their labor. Not cheap, but it’s honest work.

And this is well made. Might be why people keep asking. Or maybe AI is getting used more an more so even myself, try to figure which base model is used just by taking a look at a picture. Haven't tried ur game yet, just looked at the pictures on the main page, it smells like something good, don't want to get spoil . Ur idea of going for "made by humans for humans!" is interesting, the voice acting is cherry on the cake. I must control myself and wait for the full release. Might leave a tip on patreon to support this project. We need more of this . Thanks for your hard work !

lots of complaining for a literal pirate site and a weg that actually delivers for once

Game is frozen at main menu.

Works for me. Try clearing your Ren’Py save in Windows APPDATA and see if that fixes it.
That, or there may be a compilation error in the leaked/compressed versions.

I tried, yeah something isn't right with the links. Thanks, though. I do look forward to eventually playing again. This game has a unique feel to it. You've done a great job.

EDIT: Android worked.

Yay, I’m super happy it worked for you.

The Android version is still in BETA so it might be missing some sounds and things, but should still be playable enough to enjoy the story.

 

[WankerDxD]

I ignored this game before thinking it Ai because it looked too perfect.

But today I got bored so I checked more game to discover this hidden gem is actually 2dcg, time to try it!

so far all the scene have been with Rei and some random goons, is the main Antagonist Ryuichi Satou ever gonna make an appearance?? or have a scene??

 

[skyblueaster]

Rough sketch, lineart, shaded. This is an upcoming CG that will be added to Chapter 5. ❤
The final version looks even better.

The scene continues much further as Akari is slowly stripped of her clothes and forced to…
It’s complicated to animate this because of the inner clothing layers (bra, camisole, etc.) but the parts are there. All hundreds of them. :3
In fact, every HCG in the game can be turned into L2D. I’m just waiting for the budget to animate them.

In the official artbook, there are secret variants of several in-game illustrations. For example, some have X-ray vision, some have her fully naked, and others have her being screwed by the bastard instead of fingered. These bonus scenes lean more into fanservice and are not necessarily canon (though you make think of them as such). They’re higher quality than in-game (due to zero compression) and perfect for wallpapers.

Ryuichi makes an appearance next chapter. You can find his sprite on the official website.

You must be registered to see the links

Both him and Gon are the main antagonists. I don’t have the budget for an ugly bastard sprite for Gon yet, but it’s in the pipeline.

Chapter 6 is absolutely massive. Word count is 30k words, so it’s taking me a while to write and refine. I’m aiming to release it this month.

 

[JEGEK]

Not at the moment. But L2D is planned as soon as I can afford it.


Sorry homie. If I were a bigger dev I might leak it myself. I’m still quite small so I really need the support.

On the bright side, the PC version on F95 goes up to v0.41b, which is several hours of content. I hope it’s enough to make a decision on whether to support the game.

It’s only $5 to play the latest version with R18 content. ❤


Thanks for the heads up! I’ve updated the build on Saikey.
Generally, Patreon will have the latest updates + artbook/walkthrough, with the storefronts a few weeks behind.

Thank you again for your support. ❤

Yeah no real rush on my end, I'll most likely be waiting until a later update to replay. I was mostly worried for a wee second that the purchase was for a specific update. which would be silly.

BTW does the latest update end in Chapter 5?

Yep! Chapter 5

Don’t worry! If you purchased the game on a storefront ($30) like itch.io or Saikey, you get updates for life.

It doesn’t come with the extras of the Patreon version like the artbook or guide, but I’ll never do things like charge people per update. That’s silly! If you buy on a storefront, you’re set to receive updates until the game finishes.

The Patreon’s main advantage is low entry cost (only $5 to play up to the latest chapter), earlier updates, and exclusive goodies like the artbook/walkthrough.

So in terms of content proportion, how much of it is non-NTR compared to NTR? Too many titles where it's technically avoidable have a rather bare bones experience if you do avoid it.

 

[goldenbeard]

Game keeps freezing and closing when I try to load a save any fixes?

 

[alteros]

I'm probably gonna wait until the game's done to get it but it looks really good so far.

 

[Sanointa]

A NTR game without the tag Blackmail, Cheating, Swinging nor Corruption? Interesting...
