Crepuscule is an adult visual novel adventure by Axel Shive, built in Ren'Py and presented with 3DCG artwork. It follows Soléna, a woman who wants to become the most powerful mage in the kingdom and aims for the king's court. To avoid guild scrutiny, she settles in a quiet village and encounters the Crépuscule Guild, a group that accepts people rejected by society. As war and looming threats appear, she and her new allies work toward becoming the top guild. The game combines sandbox-style play with fantasy, monster girl, and female protagonist themes.
Development is ongoing. The current release is S1E15 v0.15, dated July 22, 2026. It is available for Windows, Linux, and Mac, in English, and is uncensored. Earlier updates revised text, corrected inconsistencies, adjusted fight scenes, tested a new combat system, added episode endings and synopses, and changed rank names and side quests.

S1E011 v0.11
Episode 11
Revision of some parts in Episode 5, including corrections for duplicate lines.
S1E10 v0.10
As I already mentioned on my Patreon, I also took the opportunity to review the texts of previous episodes and correct any inconsistencies. I decided to remove the dialogue window during fight scenes without dialogue, so you can immediately notice the change.
I tested a new combat system; if you like it, I will include it in the upcoming episodes. I added "TO BE CONTINUED" along with a brief synopsis of the next episode. I also removed the silver, gold, and platinum ranks, leaving the secondary quests without copper and bronze ranks. Additionally, I corrected the first two side quests, and I will continue this work in version 0.11.
S1E9 v0.09
I just finished version 0.09 of "Crépuscule." In this update, I include:
Episode 9
Quest 1 and 2, part 5
10 new achievements
A new activity zone
For version 0.10, I plan to add:
Episode 10
Quest 3 and 4 (if time permits)
Perhaps some additional achievements, I'll think about it

I hope you are doing well! I wanted to inform you about a significant update regarding Episode 8 and Side Quests 1 and 2 that were recently released. Your ongoing support is highly appreciated, and I want to make sure you are all aware of the latest news.
Additionally, I'm pleased to announce the addition of Part 4 for Side Quests 1 and 2. These new developments promise to add a captivating dimension to our story !

Oof, it is bad, I mean badly written. There is a story here, definitely, but the narration is all over the place, the quality is barley above a sausage pizza delivery, and the grammar... Apparently the author is French speaking…

This one is one of a kind. The Engrish is horrible. You're forced into everything, including witnessing other LIs fuck each other. Needless free roam that is clunky. The renders are outdated and ugly. Everything feels rushed and the story…

I have read the all the nine available chapters, and I got bored on the first three chapters already. Clicking the space key to read this story is like playing Elder Scrolls I, II, or III frames by frames, or…
