Requiescence Anniversary (Goodies, SALE!)

Happy Birthday, Req!

Exactly one year ago today, we released our first visual novel into the world – Requiescence! It’s pretty hard to believe; we’ve come a long way since then and learned so much during development that Requiescence seems like a distant memory. Now, as we prepare to release our second game within the next couple of months, the two of us at Argent Games wanted to celebrate Req’s birthday with a few goodies. For one day only, Requiescence is available at 50% off on Itch.io! If you’ve wanted to give it a try but never had a chance to purchase the game, here’s your golden opportunity! (There is also a Steam Key included, so you can get in your library here as well!) We’ve also released the character backstories for the very first time. In the game itself, the love interests discuss their own histories to a limited extent, so if you’ve ever been curious about Kaul and Carrault’s spicy past or Damian’s inner turmoil, you can download the free PDF on our Itch page! Finally, the Requiescence artbook – formerly only attainable through Kickstarter – is now also available on Itch! It contains some sketches and WIPs, along with a few lore tidbits and fun behind-the-scenes snippets. A giant thank-you to everyone who supported us during Req’s development back in 2016. Without you, we wouldn’t have been able to make Chess of Blades – a project with much more art, voice acting, and higher production quality all around! Req lifted Argent Games off the ground, and we plan to keep improving the quality of our projects with each new release.

Heyo! It's been a little over a year since we first began Requiescence, and we are excited to announce that we are working on our next BL VN! Codenamed CAN (since names are hard). We plan on sprinting through this project and bringing it to Kickstarter/Greenlight. We also have community events to get YOU involved in the development process. Visit our dev blog for more details. Quick (for now..) summary: Rivian, the son of a famous nobleman, attends the huge birthday celebration of the king! Dancing, drinking, and flirting abound. However, what will happen when Rivian gets embroiled in a mystery he wants no part of and has to work with a partner to solve it before the celebrations over?

Open PAID art positions

We're looking for both background and sprite artists to join our team. Send your portfolio over! You don't need to be able to do both jobs...specializing in one or the other would also be perfect.

Unlock Trading Cards and Achievements!

Hi everyone! We weren't planning on adding achievements or trading cards, but we've received a number of requests for them, so we have decided to make a small set of unlockables for them. If we can hit the goal number of reviews/ratings on itch/Steam combined, then we'll work to add these in! When we say reviews/ratings, we really mean either - or. Example: 30 people rate the game on itch (but don't leave a written review of any sort) + 50 people review the game on Steam = Trading Cards unlocked. 10 people rate the game on itch (and leave a written review) + 140 reviews on Steam = Trading Cards AND Achievements unlocked. Trading Cards: 80 Achievements: 150 ***Do note that unlocking a reward means we will begin working to implement them, not that they will be added to the game and the patch released as soon as the reward is unlocked***

The Game includes VR Support

Overview:

It's been a year of hard travel, but finally, the young mage Kymil arrives at his destination.

He's a Cyromancer - a spellcaster who wields the power of ice to smite down his enemies. Kymil learned how to harness his power thanks to his uncle, a well-renowned adventurer who hunted down treasure on every corner of the continent.

But his uncle was murdered in his home by an unknown assailant, and Kymil is driven to uncover the mystery behind his death. The only clue he has is an unfinished entry in his uncle's notes about a mysterious cathedral in the middle of the sprawling Dead Plains...

When he arrives at the cathedral, Kymil has no idea what he's searching for or where to go. But something in him presses him forward, and he's determined to figure out the cathedral's secrets, no matter how dire the cost.

Features:

125,000 word novel -- 10-15 hours of gameplay!
Unique hybrid of Western and Anime-style art -- 23 CGs and 13 Characters with unique expressions!
Interactivity -- 3 romance routes with 6 endings!
Partial voice acting!
Indie Music -- 13 tracks by two indie composers
Two Versions -- PG-13 and R-18 games (R-18 available on Itch.IO)

About:

Requiescence is a visual novel - a 2D narrative-based game that presents the user with important choices to alter the story's path. Primarily a story of action and adventure, Requiescence features three prominent romance routes that significantly change the later portions of the game.

The game is also a BL (boy's love) game, which means both the main character and the love interests are male.

If you're familiar with Nitro+CHiRAL games (Togainu no Chi, Lamento, DRAMAtical Murder, Sweet Pool), then you know how amazing a story can become when you mingle an epic adventure with intricate character relationships. Requiescence is heavily inspired by these games and aims for a similar style, while still putting a fresh twist on the BL genre.
