Original High-Quality Art

The same highly-detailed, vibrant, and rich 2.5D art by Nenetlitzi that graced Yellow Optic now graces the full story. Enjoy every single scene in crisp 1080p, which is powered by originals that are 7x larger for ultimate sharpness. Every single sprite and background is examined to the sub-pixel level, so visual perfection is guaranteed.

Original Story

Fool Me Twice defined the starting point of Yellow Optic. Conceived in 2015 as a text-based novel, it has been remastered and redistilled into a visual form that is both edge-of-your-seat while beautiful to look at. The same writer that penned the original novel re-adapted the tale for a new medium, so the every bit of vision is as present as ever.

Light On Your Wallet, Light On Your Machine

Yellow Optic was founded on the idea that stories should be fun, and it should not come at the expense of the reader. Enjoy an uncompromising experience at an affordable price everyone will enjoy. And its ultra-lightweight package (smaller than 1 GB) means you can easily carry an extra Yellow Optic story with you alongside your already-huge library.

Continuous Support

Just because it’s small and compatible doesn’t mean we’ll let it just sit there! We are continuously working on updates to brighten up the game, so the next time you start up Ferrule Instincts, you may find surprises that cause you to love it even more. Also if you do need someone to help you troubleshoot, shoot us an email!
