Hi! We’re making this post the our game (most urgently the demo) we are making for Dying Year and Monstrous Desires.  As the game is free this position as BG artist is voluntary as well.

Premise

A young woman is abandoned by her family in the forest where they leave the unwanted or suicidal people go, the children nobody wants to take care of, elderly, sick, injured. She is sick and as she is dying in the forest she prays with hatred towards who used to be her folk. The patron of the forest hears her and after she dies it resurrects her. Green parts become part of her but she’s mostly human (for now) and healed from her illness. The being allows her to live under one condition: she will be faithful to it and will help it destroy humanity in the region. Having no love left for the people who betrayed her, she accepts the deal.

BGs for DEMO:

• Darker and denser forest, mostly for Aja scenes.
• Less dense forest as it’s further away from the core of it, where Kassja meets Soren.
• Field where Kassja sunbathes and there Aja’s special scene happens.
• BG showing from afar the dam Kassja must break.
• A plain green field with the town far away atop the horizon.

The first one is the most important one, while the others are less priority because they have the potential to be CGs.

If you’re interested in volunteering you can DM @the_real_zombie through Discord with examples of your work. This story will touch on themes and genres relating to death, dark romance and fantasy so only apply if you're comfortable with it.

Thank you for giving Narcisse, and us, the chance to pull at your heartstrings a bit :D

Fun little game. Really enjoyed the art and how well it matches the story's vibes

I expected a good game and was certainly not disappointed. Added to collection. I'm not sure if it's a retelling, or if it was inspirated by IT, but I love that touch :)

About translations, I don't understand if they count or not against the word count.

First it says, "Counts against the 1.000 word limit: ... any additional parallel language / translation" and later on this:

"TRANSLATIONS/DIFFERENT LANGUAGES

In the case that you want to release a game in several languages: the restrictions on 1k words and the one VA would apply to each version.

It is within the rules to:

make a game with several languages, where the text of each version does not surpass 1000 words.

use a different VA for each language."

This is so atmospheric

This is soooooo interesting, and short, which I like because it often makes the story impactful. I really hope I get to read the rest soon

Just finished the current demo ... And I want more, REVENGE

This is BEAUTIFUL 

Just like Penelope and her ducks, Amazingggg

-Whose route would you choose first? And why?

Edel, cause contrary to real life it seems I want to be murdered in games.

-What's your favorite scene/event?

The moment Edel villainously laughs at us after the interview haha

-Are you interested in playing the full release? (The full game will be PAID)

I think it'd be totally worth it, and I would if I could.

-Are the LIs villainous enough for you?

Yes.

It's funny how well the voice suits the jester

I like it. Short and cute

My special love to: the ambience and storytelling
