About:

Chess of Blades is the second Boy's Love (or yaoi) mystery/romance visual novel game developed by Argent Games. Our first game, Requiescence, was Kickstarter funded and is also available on Steam.

For those unfamiliar with visual novels, they are primarily 2D narrative-based games that present the user with important choices that alter the story's path. For Chess of Blades, mystery and intrigue are a central part of the story, but there are also three prominent romance routes that significantly change the later portions of the game.
