Developer's description
Nerus
is a mystery and romance kinetic novel about two souls with intertwined fates.
This tale spans across many eras and places, each one riddled with mystery, suspense and clues to understand the inner workings of this fantastical world. I only ask that you sit down and enjoy the story. But, be wary of that which lurks within the dark.
v0.11.2
Hello. This is the first of the asset updates, as promised. This one comes with four CGs for the Prologue, as well as some bug fixes for Chapter 1. There was a very big issue that might've prevented people from unlocking Chapter 2. Oops.
The Android version will come next week. I had to format my PC again recently, so I have to sit down and do all the setup so Ren'py can build for Android, again. Yay... Sorry for the delay.
In other news, Devil's Gambit is coming along nicely. Just this week I finished editing the script for the first build. I swore to myself it'd be a brief thing, probably around 20k words like the first Nerus build. Well, it ended up being much larger than that. There's still much work to be done: menus I need to code, the hunt for music and sound effects, art assets, adding everything to the script. We are not quite ready to announce a release date yet, but we're getting there.

I just finished this horror fable, which I discovered on itch.io platform, and I'm sad seeing it discontinued... It's a kinetic novel that I wholeheartedly recommend if you like murder mysteries, especially the first chapter, which you unlock after the…
