Amadeus: A Riddle for Thee ~ Episode 1 ~ Waltz Next Fest Livestream

Amadeus: A Riddle for Thee ~ Episode 1 ~ Waltz is participating in the June 2024 Steam Next Fest. Check out the livestream of the current demo; full episode launches in Fall 2024!


[ 2024-06-11 03:46:34 CET ] [ Original post ]

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!
