100 Wishlists Celebration Announcement

A while ago, I announced that Amadeus: A Riddle for Thee ~ Episode 1 ~ Waltz had reached 100 wishlists, which for me is a milestone worth celebrating. That number has since grown into over 120! To celebrate, I've completely revamped the soundtrack album, including the 3 new tracks from the demo that weren't in the original prototype, as well as unique track art for every track and a new album cover. I also created a (mobile friendly) page on my website where they're all embedded along with little narrative snippets cataloguing the journey of the demo. Check it out here - enjoy!
Thank you so much for the support. Stay tuned for more development updates at the end of the month - exciting things are in the works. Stay up-to-date: linktr.ee/amadeusgame

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!
