EDIFICE ANGELS IS NOW OUT
Before anything, go play it here!
After playing and enjoying a few of the games from last year's Toxic Yuri Jam, I decided to throw my hat in the ring >:)
EDIFICE ANGELS. is a three-act disaster where newly-dead angel Calliope is passively determined to make up for all that she failed to encounter in her brief life. By the grace of her passivity, she stumbles into the path of the enigmatic Denver. Oh, but Calliope's a simple girl with the simple want for stakes, and Denver? A demon with the skin of an angel! Be wary, young Chastity! Oh, but a poor soul like her was always going to be eaten alive...
The Story is set in one of Lower Heavens thousands of mega-structures, where all angels loyal and desperate for God's love devote their immortality towards the mounting of these grand constructs. Ah, but God's a busy fella. Got a lot of angels to choose from, so who knows when you'll get your turn. It's worth waiting eternity for divine love, ain't it?
MEET OUR LEADING ANGELS!!!
Calliope, Chastity Virtue (she must be quite sleepy!)
Denver, Martyr Virtue (she seems chill and unproblematic)
Corisande, Humility Virtue (must've snuck some strawberry jam again!)
This is my first time both making a Visual Novel {i}and{/i} writing something more adult, so huge learning experience. Making 15 songs and drawing, like, 40 CGs + a ton of sprites also was awesome for my skills. Given I made the game mostly linearly, I find there's a huge improvement across the board by Act III that makes me so proud to see (yes, Act III is by far the best part of the story, so you gotta stick with it, man! trust the process!!)
As for other details, while I can't give an exact estimate, as I wrote the script in Visual Studio, the script is somewhere between 35k and 40k words long. While I will not spoil whether it has any alternative routes or endings, prepare to spend 3 to 4 hours before seeing the grand crescendo to this heavenly nightmare! That's a lotta good stuff, right there! A porn game longer than Animal Farm? Can't pass that up!
Due to itch rules, I'm also not allowed to monetize the game at all, which sucks, given I probably spent 250 hours putting it together. While the game was made on a zero-dollar budget, I've set up a Patreon and a Ko-fi. This is purely to give an option for those who want to support my work.
That all said, please check it out if you have the chance and it sounds like your type of thing! Shit is impossible to promote with the internet being as godless as it is, so please rate it up and share it with interested friends if you all enjoyed. Does a lot for my mental health as I go forward and keep trying to create!
