The short alpha demo for Solomania is now available to play. 

SOLOMANIA is a narrative-driven visual novel drama about flawed heroes and their collateral damage.

You are Astra, a hero and a menace. Nobody asks questions as long as the job is done. That has always been enough, until now.

Now, the higher ups are... uncomfortable with your latest actions. They demand someone else keeps you in check. Your only choice is another hero, and the only heroes left are alone for a reason.

To clear your good name, take on the task of investigating a strange civilian report deep in the dark woods. Sounds easy, right?

About the Alpha Demo

The early demo introduces our MC, her trusted mentor, and her unfortunate potential partners. 

This version includes:

• A 6,500 intro to the story. 
• First look at the main characters!
• Original art direction! All assets are handmade and custom. 

This is an early build and Feedback is very much welcome! 

Yes, it's still being worked on! 

A lot of people don't realise it, but I'm a single dev putting everything together, while also organising things outside gamedev. Thus, at times development has been a little slower than I would have liked. But a new demo will be coming out, that's a complete overhaul of the game with much more content, new writing, update to the storyline + even more art. 

Thank you for your support! We are currently working on a more exciting demo update. 

Hi. Yes, the full version will be revamped and be a one-time paid project. However, there will be many demo updates prior to that for you to try.

You were a hero once before, but what kind of hero will you be now?

I released the alpha demo teser for In Ashes today! 

In Ashes is a choice-driven fantasy adventure visual novel about adventurers, monsters, and legends.

The sleepy town of Hwen promised peace, but it was not meant to last. Your fragile peace is shattered when a familiar face arrives with a plea that pulls you back into the life—and the wounds—you left behind. It’s time to step into the boots of a weary, former hero.

The Alpha teaser is quite short and sets the tone of the world. However, future demo updates should get to the meat of the gameplay! 

You can play here: https://studioephua.itch.io/in-ashes
We have a teaser trailer, too:.

Glad to see it's back! Was shown a let's play of the game by a friend, and it looks very interesting. Really love the presentation, too.

Is this only available on steam now?
