Brief Update & Linux Bug Fix

I'll keep this short: last month, life stuff happened, and I did not finish the overhauled demo build. It is almost ready, and it will be very worth the wait. I also wish to announce that I've addressed the bug that causes the cursor to disappear on Linux. The fix will be included in the new demo. I now have a proper Linux test machine, so no future builds should have such egregious platform-specific issues. Not going to waste more time on words when it's better spent on development - just know the new demo build is coming very soon! Look forward to it.

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!
