I'm going for gold, lads, lasses, and other gendered classes!

Do you like visual novels? Do you like stories about the fey? Do you like your entertainment as EDUTAINMENT?

IF SO, BOY HOWDY DO I HAVE A VISUAL NOVEL PROJECT FOR YOU.

youtube

The Good People (Na Daoine Maithe) is a lore-rich and choice-driven romantic visual novel inspired by Irish mythology. Play as an Irish tenant farmer from the mid-19th century, whose path becomes inexplicably entwined with fairy affairs after getting robbed by the roadside and lured into the mythic and war-torn world of Tír na nÓg: A once unified land, now divided into the Seelie and Unseelie Courts. Will you escape with your stolen belongings? Or does fate have something else in mind?

OKAY, BUT WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOU, SEEKER OF SEROTONIN?

6 wonderful romantic/PLATONIC options (each love interest can be pursued entirely platonically)

a visual novel whose philosophy is less on anxiety-inducing, arbitrary choices to get a good or bad ending, but instead focuses on if you, the player, are interacting with a character in a healthy or unhealthy manner, leading to player freedom and choice

intelligent and reflective writing that is reflected within character moments and dialogue

and MORE! (so much more!)

WHERE CAN I FIND MORE OUT ABOUT THIS GAME?

Here is the bio link, which has links for the indie developers' social media accounts (Tumblr, Twitter, Discord Server) along with the link to their official website, which has a deep dive into every main NPC and the philosophy of the game. The demo is out now and free on both Steam and Itch.io

(As an official statement: I am in no way employed or affiliated with Moirai Myths and I was not approached in any way to make this post. This is me being a feral fan on main, blazing this post)

EDIT:

HELLO EVERYONE! DID YALL KNOW THE KICKSTARTER FOR THIS GAME JUST LAUNCHED TODAY? NOW YOU DO! MORE DETAILS AND MORE FUN TO BE HAD!

They’re doing voice acting reveals this month, along with an early bird special to see blushing/flirty emotes!

EDIT THE SECOND:

WE HAVE REACHED FULL FUNDING WITH THE GAME! Which is excellent, because it means that my little hyperfixation is gonna be made!

However!

It would be very nice if we could reach some of the stretch goals (which go into depth here: x). Not only are they fun (MC customization, a switch port, expanded voice-over work, more sprites, mini-games, side stories), but I think they'd spark a lot of serotonin for folks playing (myself included).

If this post has interested you at all, please, please, please check out the Kickstarter above! Thank you!

EDIT THE THIRD

Since this is still getting notes beyond my wildest dreams:

Hello! It's been a while! The Kickstarter ended a bit ago (I did not update this post when it did end, due to being ecstatic to how much the project managed to get: 130% funding!), but development is ongoing and strong! The first two routes are in development right now. Please keep tuned at @moiraimyths for official development updates!

Today is the day. A demo for Perfect Tides: Station to Station is now available on Steam. Please enjoy!

It’s an incredible thrill to be offering this first look at this game, which could not exist without the artists who’ve helped to craft it. Please join me in celebrating the work of the core team Soren Hughes (Background Design) and Daniel Kobylarz (Music), as well as the artists who have contributed graphic assets: Garrett Hobson, Carly Monardo, and Tony Wilson.

This build has also benefitted from dozens of hours of testing and feedback, thanks to a generous and dedicated pool of playtesters. You will find their names at the end of the demo, when you’ve experienced their efforts for yourself.

While you’re downloading, consider wishlisting the game! It keeps you abreast of game updates, feeds the Steam algo, and is a big help toward getting the word out about these games.

Almari is an exploration-focused surreal RPG in which skills (referred to as “Words”) are found rather than leveled for. Stock up on supplies, learn the lay of the land, and watch the movement patterns of your enemies to prevail!

TeleCollision, an Adventure RPG where something is off...

Make an original character, pick a starting location, and explore!

Fight using perfect timing to maximize damage! (or turn that off if it's not your jam, I'm not your mother)

Using trading cards to customize your battle build!

And... nothing else. I'm sure that's all that's going on with this one. Normal story probably.

You can find the demo on Steam and Itch.io right now!

Bonus: Screenshot the gif below to see what the character creator randomizer makes for you!

VERSION 2.0 of my horror visual novel Mother's Favorite is live right now!

This has been 4 years in the making! This version of the demo covers 1/3rd of the total game and gives a pretty good slice of the atmosphere, characters and story.

The demo is free to play with a 'pay what you want' option. It would mean the world to me if this was shared around and given constructive criticism if possible.

Please note this game is a horror game and is not suitable for all audiences. A full list of content warnings are available on the itch.io page for those interested.

I am honored and humbled by all the people who have stuck with the project this long and have contacted me about their interest!

Have fun and try to keep Fourth alive!

The world went to shit long before you were born- what happened, nobody's sure. Whatever it was, it left a mess. The horrors of the blasted wasteland, the things that roam outside of city walls, the static that buzzes in your ear like an old TV... not to mention the violent fuckers out there who'd rather they have what you've got.

But a job with a caravan travelling across the wastes means you can finally start a new life in the neon-lit utopia of Signal Hill. That is, until you're ambushed outside the city, your cargo stolen and your guards dead. The bright lights and the ever-present hum of the radio are starting to feel like more of a nightmare than a dream...

Signal Hill is a post-apocalyptic narrative RPG/interactive fiction game set in the eponymous neon-lit utopia, Signal Hill. Players take on the role of a wanderer from the North, arriving in the city for the first time and become enthralled in its local intrigue. It also contains gratuitous violence and sexual themes, so the current demo is recommended for adults only.

Over 83,000 words of quests, conversations, and locations

A detailed text-based open world to explore

5 fully-realized authored quests to pursue

Choose your weapon, skills, and customize your character

140 clothing options, and dozens of other customization options

Fully customizable pronouns & gender (separate)

8 available identities to define who you are through your choices

Meet most of the main cast

SEE FOR YOURSELF. TRY IT OUT.

#it's definitely not going to be what some of y'all expected but i hope that's in a good way ;)#soooooo proud of this weird little game #interactive fiction #if #demo release #indie games #signal hill #signal hill if

Hmm… This choice wasn’t in the demo 🤔 Do you think Kuras minds holding sweaty, clammy hands? Asking for a friend.

The free shareware copy of Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy was released last week!

I'm only just now making a big post about it because I worked about 21 hours (nearly) straight to get it up and ready before the weekend.

This version is free, and you can download it from out website here. The download link is on our website.

Download it, read it, play it, give it to your friends, upload it somewhere else, do whatever with it, it’s shareware. It’s a free demo that you can send or put wherever you want.

In case you haven’t heard, to find out what Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy even is, click here (link to the big master post that announces the patreon)

This free version of Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy we have released comes with everything you would need to play the game: Investigation rules, PC creation rules with tons of options, combat rules, a peak into the supernatural, a pre-written adventure module where the PCs will solve a murder, and four pregenerated PC character sheets—plus blank character sheets so you can make your own.

All of this is free, and we’re giving it out to promote the full version, going to Kickstarter in early 2024.

You can also actually get your hands on the full prerelease build early by subscribing to our Patreon for $5.

This will unlock for you:

Character progression rules.

More firearms combat options.

More melee combat options.

Full, complete, and VERY robust options for creating supernatural PCs.

Two additional horror-mystery adventure modules, each with their own pregenerated PCs if you need them.

Thank you all for supporting us and getting us this far. We look forwards to sharing many more of our creations with y'all.

(Volley)ball is life.

Vollema is an RPG currently in development where you (a college volleyball player) tackle your problems the best way you know how... through volleyball!

After an incident at school, you and your teammate, Saffron, find yourselves lost in the woods outside town. The creatures of the forest aren't exactly welcoming, and they're not the only ones out to get you.

You can try out the demo on itch.io here!
