Pitch:
You stand, unmoving, at the entrance to the castle. Cracked stone beneath your feet, burnt and smoking bodies littered across the courtyard. You have a double sided blade in one hand, the hand clenched so tightly that your knuckles start to turn white against your deep purple skin. Your bright green eyes scan the battlefield through the bottom of your matted white bangs, now gray with soot, till they find him, standing at the castle gate. The only thing left between you and your sister…how will you act?
“Epilogues” is a dynamic new take on the visual novel genre, where the player traverses an intricate and dynamic web of interactive choice points. You play as Billie, a young demon warrior embroiled in a desperate battle to save her sister. Every decision you make deeply impacts her fate and the stories of those around her. Will you guide her towards greatness? Or force her towards tragedy?
