Visual novels are one of those genres that have evolved noticeably lately, offering, in addition to the same type of calling out dialogs and rare plot choices, new game mechanics.
Development from Italian Studio v offers a noir detective transporting the player to the distant future in the tech city of Nova Polemos. On the rainy streets of dark city, private investigator Mordred Fowley and his cute assistant Hera are investigating a series of horrific crimes related to the tragic mistake of their recent past.
But the mysterious killer is behind a much more global conspiracy than it seems at first glance.
Dryrowning She does not hesitate to touch upon sensitive topics, ranging from sexual violence and brutal killings to political intrigues.
The main character inspects the crime scene, collects evidence and files on potential suspects and then draws a series of lightning-fast conclusions, using his unique ability to see lies.
Between conversations with other characters and unraveling crimes, Mordred spends time in solving simple puzzles and making choices that can affect the course of history.
The authors claim that their visual novel offers more than 150 story development lines and three full endings.
Moreover, even the most innocent elections can lead to the most sad consequences.
For example, if you hide the truth from the politician’s wife in the first chapter, then in the second she will be found hanged in her own house. The salvation of one heroine will lead to the brutal death of another character.
The authors do not shy away from LGBT motifs that are popular in the West, offering the tragic story of a transgender who is being blackmailed by a mysterious killer to the taste of a perverted public.
