WYSAPOOMP (Demo)
A downloadable Visual Novel for Windows
This is preliminary version of the demo meant as a proof of concept.
The Story
In modern day Germany, Julian's cult is getting ready to summon an Eldritch Being to the physical plane by sacrificing his childhood friend, whom he has been grooming and protecting for this purpose for years.
You’ll get to help him decide whether to do what’s morally right, to stay loyal to the cult, or to find a way to surpass his problems altogether, teaming up with one of three heroines who aligns with your decisions.
How to read
Click to advance the text. You can save the game at any time, including whenever you have to make a choice.
If you accidentally click too quickly, you can rewind text by scrolling back up with your mouse wheel.
Right clicking opens the settings, including the side menu that lets you save/load/return to main menu etc. You can also access these features via the small ingame menu at the bottom right.
If you re-read sections of the novel to get to a different choice, you can press CTRL to skip already seen text. Within the settings, you can also change your preferences so that the game will skip unseen text as well, which may be unadvisable unless you know what you're doing.
Pressing down on the mouse wheel hides the text box to reveal the images below. Left clicking or clicking the mouse wheel again returns you to reading mode.

Is this game dead ? Please prove me wrong 🙏
It's not dead! We're occasionally posting updates on our social media :)
Edit:
To give you a brief summary:
We've got most of the sprites done and started on CGs. The story is written and currently on its second editing pass. The music is...well, a lot of it is done, but I actually have no clue how much more the composer wanted to make.
It's a three person project, so progress is very slow. When we started it, we always joked that we'd need about a decade. By now, we've decided to do it in chunks, releasing a route at a time, and that feels much better.
We're all very excited to finally get this thing out, but since it's a hobby project, life and our day jobs sometimes get in the way. But by now an end is in sight at least.
Enjoyed the demo and excited for the full game! :D
