Demo Livestream + Art Asset Expo


Tomorrow, March 23, at 6pm Pacific I'm going to dust off my Twitch channel [strike]that I used to use to speedrun Tales of Symphonia[/strike] to stream the Amadeus: A Riddle for Thee demo. This will be an opportunity to:

  • Show the demo, in full, to anyone who hasn't had the time or energy to play it themselves but wants to see what it's like
  • Show the physical pencil and ink drawings that were scanned as assets for the game on camera, side-by-side with the game itself
  • Talk a little about the game's code
If you're interested please stop by! It'll be linked in the linktree, but direct link is twitch.tv/arcanaxix See you there! If you miss it, I'll post the video on YouTube, and link that in the linktree as well.

Story


Play as Amadeus, a young werewolf struggling to understand his condition, as he navigates a tale woven by Witches. He is equal parts desperate and determined—how can one reclaim agency over themself, when afflicted by a curse that steals it from them every time the moon Aska draws full?

Amadeus: A Riddle for Thee is a narrative game heavily inspired by Umineko When They Cry thematically, and Professor Layton aesthetically. Gameplay is a blend of pure Visual Novel scenes + Point-and-Click Adventure scenes. The story is linear, and will be told in 5 sequential episodes.

Episode 1 ~ Waltz will release Fall 2024. Please check out the demo in the meantime!
