ENDYSIS ♞❄️ The Last Winter Knight ❄️ @endysis.bsky.social · Jul 10
You wake up as a ghost, with no memory of who you were or how you died. The only clue to your past is the empty suit of armour you now possess. ⚔️

The Last Winter Knight is a Gothic visual novel about love, loss & putting the ghosts of the past to rest. ❄️

Wishlist or play the demo: s.team/a/2768420
Cover art for The Last Winter Knight. A girl with white hair clutching a flax flower is at the foreground. Behind her are two figures armed with swords standing back to back. At the very back is a helmeted knight. A screenshot of a knight in front of a stone wall, viewed from the side. Their helm is bent forward. A screenshot of a library with shelves, a painting on the wall, a desk and a candelabra. The Nameless Knight's sprite is on the side of the screen and the text box reads: "...I have absolutely no desire to dig through tax documents right now." A screenshot of a painting in a frame that depicts a woman with a bird perched on her arm. Her face is cropped out of view. The text reads: "A painting hangs above the hearth, flaking and aged, its ornate frame tarnished with time."

A noble lord brings two squires along on a hunt. One is a gentle boy who should not exist. 🌟

The other is a girl who dreams of plunging a dagger into her master’s heart. 🗡️

Trail of Stars, my short, (bitter)sweet fairy tale visual novel, is out on steam! 🌟

store.steampowered.com/app/4006140/...
Cover art for Trail of Stars showing the two squires sitting back to back looking up at the sky. Screenshot of two figures on horseback silhouetted in the woods. The artstyle is paper cut out and storybook inspired. "They trotted along behind the main party, she on a chestnut stallion, he on a white mare." Screenshot of a starry sky with a half moon and foliage framing the screen. "The magic of the woods had run dry; the boughs no longer sheltered them with their sanctuary." Screenshot of cropped artwork of the girl running while the boy reaches for her hand. "The way he always did when she was sick or afraid."

Thanks for the feature, @itch.io ! I hope this means you'll soon fix the game being de-indexed and not appearing on any search or tags on the site!

lrp some of my favourite pieces that I own and wear all the time are secondhand, I really recommend it as you can both save money and reduce waste 👍

Sir Ferdinand was also rescued from a thrift store and is now doing a great job in his new duty of holding my pen ✒️

1 more thing I'll add—going thrifting made me use what I have more. I write Christmas cards, I'm not afraid to write in notebooks, I print whatever I want on photo paper, I use the rose China I found...when you see how much stuff people buy but never use, you realize you don't have to wait to use it

If there's one thing I'm proud of in my game it's the visuals! I've put so much effort into making every frame look like a work of art. 🥹

#indiedev #solodev
Sideview of a knight slumped forward in front of a stone wall as light shines on their back. Silhouettes of banners on a battlefield. "War makes the days bleed one into the next. Sunrise into sunset into sunrise again." Screenshot of a stone room with stained glass windows and candles and a textbox to the side. The text is blurred because of spoilers, sorry! Screenshot of a codex menu. "You are a lost soul, drifted away from the Sunless Sea."

My tragic timeloop romance game, Unquiet Grey, takes place on several New Year's Eves, which makes it the perfect time to give it a play! ❄️

Part one is on itch and completely free:

People get hung up on "I don't know how to write a good review" but honestly you don't need paragraphs of analysis and observations. Don't compare yourself to a journalist. "I loved it!" or "I had fun" are equally valid reviews, AND matter just as much to the Steam algorithm to support game devs!

VN devs, let's share our works together! Quote this with 4 screenshots from your game and a link to it 🙏

Catalyst: Blind Faith is a dark fantasy & #horror VN about compassion. As a troubled young priest, you choose to conquer your demons or embrace them.🩸

just-write-studios.itch.io/catalyst-bli...
Screenshot from a work-in-progress visual novel, Catalyst: Blind Faith. A dilapidated fishing village has a dirt road packed with faceless peasants in silhouette. Fine cloth banners are hung around the makeshift town square, depicting two open hands joined by the sun. Dawn rises over a shadowy forest, watchtowers, and barren farmland in the distant background. An item has been presented to the player: a solid gold pendant of two open hands, which are much more refined than the ones depicted on the banners. The text onscreen that accompanies this item reads: "Holy Symbol of Mercy. A traditional symbol of the Goddess of your Church. This was a risky gift from Father Edmund—only the Church's leader is permitted to wear gold." A choice menu is presented to the player as they overlook an enchanted series of stairs. The player leans over a crumbling ledge, where a small and rocky waterfall rushes endlessly from an unseen and nonsensical source. The cavern ahead is filled with mist and sunlight. The staircases that lead away from their position are barely intact, and absurdly tall, with bases that lead deeper than the mist. Two, small, glowing doorways lie at the other end of the cavern, glowing with so much light that nothing can be seen beyond them. The choice menu reads: "You have faith in your Gods and your own abilities. Start climbing down." or "This is a terrible idea. Return to Malimos's lair to search for an alternate route." Custom UI for Catalyst: Blind Faith, styled like a handmade journal. The deckle-edge pages are flipped open to a tab for the God of Vengeance, which is splattered with old blood. Along with tabs for all the other deities in the fictional pantheon, and places to review characters met, demons faced, inventory items, maps, and notes, the player gets detailed and dynamic information on each category. Here they have hovered over the first page for Vengeance, and a sheaf of paper appears with the player's history with this deity and the player-controlled MC's current reflections on their relationship. Though the player is tracking how many lives they have taken with this deity, their reflections are slightly more opaque: "You find yourself drifting from the path of the vengeful and vindictive. Such a thing can be easily amended." Work in progress, grayscale, hand drawn art for the dark fantasy and horror visual novel Catalyst: Blind Faith. A loosely sketched woman with a dark cloak and fluffy hair lies on the ground, her face obscured by her hair as she looks at a a slender, heavily scarred young man. This priest of murder, the protagonist, is seen in third person perspective while his deity works through him. He's in an unnatural pose, leaning heavily to one side, which the dutch angle corrects so he appears to be kneeling perfectly upright. Motes of darkness and light drift around him. His hands are held in front of him, but loosely closed instead of in fists. He stares unblinking as light and darkness oozes from his eyes down his unemotional face.

Made Marion is an action-adventure romance VN inspired by the Robin Hood Legends. Fight for freedom and fall in love!

store.steampowered.com/app/1482150/...
Marion, a pretty brunette woman wearing a green velvet dress with celtic knot accents, is speaking with her father, a stern-looking older man with greying brown hair and a beard. Her father says, "I know arranging a marriage like this is irregular, but these are trying times. And you know you're years behind your introduction to society." Marion, a pretty young brunette woman wearing a green velvet dress with Celtic knot accents, is standing very close to Robin Hood, a charming young man with short blond hair and a green vest and cape. Robin is saying, "It's not a kidnapping. It's a rescue, milady." Marion, a pretty young brunette woman wearing a blue and white dress trimmed with gold, is standing in a dark room with a stranger. They have very long, purple, glowing hair and are wearing an elaborate purple robe with gold trim and lavender scarves. The stranger is saying, "Clever? Mysterious? Fashionable? Or perhaps... Nibirian?" A young woman with long blonde hair, wearing a blue and white dress trimmed with gold, is standing next to Lord Geoffrey. He's a stern-looking man with pale skin, black hair, and a neatly-trimmed beard and mustache. His outfit is all black with silver accessories. Geoffrey is saying, "I was also meant to marry, but negotiations fell through."

The Last Winter Knight is a melancholy gothic visual novel where you'll haunt a suit of armour as the lost spirit of a knight. 👻
