Have you had enough already?

A Point&Click Exploration game. With focus on the experience and story. Minimal use of dialogs (though there will be plenty). Almost no object based puzzles. The puzzle is the game itself. You will have to explore, collect clues, link them together, build the bigger picture, uncover and understand the pieces, and find a way to change. While also finding, understanding, and helping other characters that will join in your journey.

It's very early in the development. While i allow (very early) access to it, do not consider the game as release-ready. It will change considerably with time.
The game will be released in chapters, and the price will increase as the content increases.

Licenses

At the moment the project is closed-source. But once the project takes form and is released, i'm considering implementing a license like the one from Zun (Touhou Project) https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Touhou_Wiki:Copyrights

Also i've made my code into plugins whenever possible, and i plan on open-sourcing those once they become stable. ( https://codeberg.org/nande/ )

No promises, but that's what i'd love to do.  It will only impact the assets/code i have the right to open-source (of course)
