Mystery! Occultism! Card games! I made this in Game Maker Studio 2!!

The above trailer features heavily the "adventure system". You can check out the "debate system" by viewing the below trailer.

The game was inspired by Aristotle's Art of Rhetoric. Eagle-eyed gamers in the audience might also spot a passing resemblance to Ace Attorney. Purely coincidental, you understand. I am very original. I've actually never played a videogame before.

You can download it right now! It's free!! The game currently contains the first of six planned chapters. Golly gosh, I hope it doesn't crash the instant it hits your computer machine! (if it does, please send me an email at support@realitylayerzero.com so that I can address the issue)
