[ 2023-11-16 09:24:51 CET ] [ Original post ] Large update coming soon!Thank you for your patience. We'll be publishing a big update to Deluge: Sermon for the Dead somewhere around Halloween.
As you may have noticed, the game has become delayed. This is mainly due to the size of the project. When we set out developing, we assumed this would be a 6-8 hour game but now that we have fully worked out the different routes and plotlines, it will likely be closer to 10-15 hours. As we don't want to rush this game, we've decided to push forward our deadline to early 2024.
We'll be adding about 4 hours of gameplay soon, please stay posted,
Cheers,

Born from the myriad unused ideas and plotlines that we developed during the creation of our previous game Deluge: Threnody of Crashing Waves this game explores and expands new themes related to the town of Abbotsford and the brooding mysteries that surround it.
Sermon for the Dead will be an atmospheric mystery VN filled with political intrigue and lovecraftian horror. We are currently working towards an Early Access release, which is planned to appear somewhere next year.
Stay posted,

—Lord, hear my cries for mercy.Spring has come to Abbotsford — while Abe is growing increasingly preoccupied with his duties for the school paper, Rika solicits him to track down a set of human skulls that vanished from the island a century ago. It isn't long into their search that he finds out this macabre treasure holds disturbing significance to her.
In the meantime, campaigning has begun for the town council elections. While political infighting rises to an all time high, Marisa — the new girl in town — takes center stage. Will she be able to bring stability before all things converge in a tidal wave of deep despair?
