Yay~ it's always nice when someone notices. I wanted to make a point and click with more visual novel features, because I like how adventure games feel like an interactive storybook and thought it paired well.
From my game, Drown the Bride

A scene on a beach with pixel art graphics. It depicts two characters speaking on the right hand side of the screen in front of a cabin. On the left hand side of the screen are two portraits: both young women, one with light brown hair and a sad expression, the other blond and with a confident poise.

There's a theme to some of my Steam reviews and that theme is that I am bad at marketing 🤣 #gamedev
List of parts of steam reviews: Very good, the other reviews do a better job at explaining it all. And why it is so good. I just wanted to post a review so the game can get a higher score, and hopefully attract a bigger audience. Buy it! This visual novel is a very fine work of fiction and deserve more attention. The art is (sic) shing and characters are very well written. Also I keep thinking from time to time about... Going to the game itself, it's criminally overlooked and underrated. It uses 20s-like stylistics couple with a supernatural story about demons, lurking in the margins of the world that stopped believing in their existence (you can think of them as vampires, as they have similar....) I am honestly surprised not many people seem to have played Tell a Demon. How in depth the story seems to go. coupled with the deeply established universe, intriguing story, and multiple routes that change how the character acts and their motivations is something that...

Rosie: If he doesn't take it for the gesture it is, that says something about him, doesn't it?
Trina: Maybe you're right. 4/5

Rosie: It's for luck. It's the thought that counts, even if he doesn't believe in magic.
Trina: I don't know, I think Fell is a skeptic. He might take it the wrong way. 3/5

Hi bluesky, I'm an artist & writer who makes interactive fiction & visual novel style games & point 'n clicks

Screenshot of a pixel art game with left and right side portraits in the foreground, and a card table at which three people are seated in the midground. The setting is an entry room with blue curtains, portraits on the far back wall, and a staircase on the right leading up to a landing. The captioned text says "I don't know if I told you, but Rosie's an actress. She used to frighten tourists with a ghost show when she lived in Cales." A gentleman sits at a table with a cup of tea. A decorative pattern depicting wineberries, butterflies and turtles hems in the composition. Caption: "I love this place. The greenery. The wineberries in Summer. It's funny, though. I never got lost until today." A young woman in a blue dress stands in a golden field next to a creek flanked on either side by bare spindly trees. A hazy city, white, as if made of clouds, floats in the sky. A dark dungeon-like setting with a chequerboard patterned floor. In the background is a statue of a sphinx. Little alcoves are set into the wall. In the midground stands a woman in a red dress, appearing to allude to the 1820s in style, with a high waistline. In the foreground are bars, as if the viewer is sitting in a prison. The caption reads, " 'Are you dense, or just that much in denial?' "
