A dark fantasy visual novel about loss, memory, and the burden of a cursed name.

Years after The Crown of Fangs destroyed your village, you remain their prisoner. When a young girl enters your cell and asks to hear your story, the past begins to unravel through childhood memories, buried truths, and the pain of all you have lost.

Now a dark beast hunter who has cast aside their former identity, you struggle to reclaim what was taken from you and make sense of what remains. But as your story unfolds, the shadow of the ones who destroyed your life still lingers.

The first demo covers the prologue, a return to your past.

Through memory, you will relive your childhood and witness the events that led to your imprisonment… and the choices that set your fate in motion.

This project is currently in development. I’ll be sharing updates as I continue working, with a demo coming in the future. Some content may change along the way.

PROTAGONISTS

Choose who you want to be and step into your. past.  As part of the Blackwinter family, a long line of dark beast hunters who wield black magic to protect the people of Falgrim. Every decision you make will shape the story and not everyone will survive the consequences.

The demo covers the prologue, where you revisit your past as a child through memory. It is here that you meet characters like Seth and Lyra bonds that may shape your future.In the full game, these relationships can grow over time and may lead to romance… if they survive the path ahead.

Lyra Frostfang

A timid wolf beastkin who struggles beneath the weight of prejudice. Though quiet and reserved, she reveals a warmer side to those she learns to trust. Vaelyn's closest friend, and perhaps something more dependine on the path you choose.                      Voiced by-

Seth Goldstone

Your closest friend, always quick with a grin and ready to stand by your side. Yet beneath that loyalty lies a desire to escape the life he’s known. The bond you share may shape the man he becomes or drive him down another path.

Voice by-

Through your choices, you will forge bonds with those around you, unlocking new dialogue, scenes, and paths through the story.   Yet not every bond can be preserved. Some will be broken.  The way you treat others may determine who stands beside you, and who is lost along the way. As this is a demo, some features and story paths are not yet fully implemented.

 

Vaelyn BlackWinter

Eldest daughter of the blackwinter famliy. Sharp tongued and determined, she refuses to be seen as anything less than worthy of the Blackwinter legacy.

Voice by-

Kael Frostfang

Lyra’s older brother, a guarded wolf beastkin shaped by a life of distrust. Quiet and watchful, he keeps his distance from most yet his bond with Helen reveals a side of him few ever see.

Voiced by-

Voiced by-

Helen Goldstone

Elder sister to Seth, a gentle soul of a respected blacksmith family. She sees the good in others, even when it is not easy. Her bond with Kael may endure or be broken by the choices you make.
