About Deklev
Deklev is a Ren'Py visual novel by Volkelt, played through a male protagonist in a dreary city defined by constant rain, gray weather, and dull public spaces. Parks, gardens, and outdoor views are presented as plain, while the locals are cold, indifferent, and unhelpful. Its presentation uses animated 3DCG scenes, and the overview frames the place as forgettable, warning players to avoid it because it offers little charm or assistance for visitors.
The current build is v0.2, released on May 18, 2023, and it is not a finished release. It runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac in English, without censorship. The v0.2 update added more than six hundred images and at least two animated videos, following the initial v0.1 release.
Developer's description
Welcome to Deklev, a lackluster city that will fail to impress you with its gloomy weather and unremarkable inhabitants. Welcome to a city renowned for its perpetual rainfall that will dampen your spirits and leave you longing for sunshine. It is the perfect place to endure mundane outdoor activities, uninspiring parks and gardens, and unimpressive landscapes. Leave your camera at home as there are no remarkable moments to capture! What truly sets Deklev apart are its inhabitants. Get ready to meet some of the most unremarkable people you could ever encounter. The locals are indifferent, unfriendly, and rarely show any hospitality. They will greet you with apathy and offer no assistance in discovering the city's lackluster secrets and forgettable treasures. Avoid visiting this place!
