Precipice of the When

 (Demo 0.2) This is a demo version!

This is a visual novel with mysteries for the player to solve, and a complex choice based story to unfold.

Well that's the idea anyway. This is a demo version of the story's prologue. The game is in development, and any support or feedback is very welcome.

The feel I'm going for: A horror mystery with a sense of humor.

Synopsis:
The When is a strange place. Often considered 'the bleeding reality', its invasive nature is responsible for many supernatural phenomena. Some people have made it their jobs to investigate these phenomena, and to prevent harm coming to the people involved. However, an incident in a small village in Anderland is about to escalate.

The two protagonists:
-Thomas Konijn, a trained investigator. He's a large man with a soft mind and a love for the unusual. 
-Hanneke Hermelijn, a university student who enjoys photography and has a dangerous curiosity towards the unknown.

Plans going forward:

-develop and release a more expansive free demo
