Visual Novel Fest

Steam's weeklong Visual Novel Fest starts next Monday, March 3rd! I'm happy to share that Placebo Love, by me, the creator of Last Word, will be part of the festival with it's largest discount yet, a whopping 80% off!

Spread the Word!

Please Wishlist Placebo Love and spread the word! If you know of place where people enjoy sharing and talking about Visual Novels, let them know!

Summary

Placebo Love is a supernatural mystery about a man who has fallen in love with doppelganger soulmates. You are his Muse. Choose his schedule to guide him towards the truth about love, inspiration, and an evil soda company! Thanks, everyone! Look forward to next week, there will be a lot of cool games on sale!

Hey there, Lonely Lovers... Placebo Love is now available on Steam! It's a new game by Twelve Tiles/Merlandese, and it's about Soulmates and Doppelgangers and evil Beverage Conglomerates! And it plays like the "dating sim" sections of a Persona game! You'll love it! You see, Lorne Volley answers a spam email promising him the love of his life... but he answers it twice! And despite all odds, he meets his Perfect Woman alright... but also twice! Same face, same laugh, same attitude, but with different names and in different cities! What sort of mysterious conundrum IS this!? Luckily he has you to guide him. You're his muse! You help him make decisions, determine his schedule, and let him know when it's okay to lie. Maybe this game will help you find your Soulmate, and maybe it won't... but what do you have to lose? ;) Thanks everyone for the help and support in this new endeavor, I hope you love it as much as I do! - Lan

A big hello to all the Degica fans out there!
We here at Degica Games are proud to announce our publishing partnership with Moonana the team behind the unforgiving timed action turn-based JRPG Virgo Vs The Zodiac! (VVTZ for short!) Get ready to "Embark on a cosmic quest to follow your fate, or defy your destiny" this Autumn 2019. Along with the news of our publishing partnership, Degica and Moonana will be attending Japan's largest Indie Game event, BitSummit 7 Spirits, from June 1st & 2nd at Miyako Messe in Kyoto. If you are in Kyoto come on by and check out the special Virgo Vs The Zodiac demo we will have on display and meet the Moonana team!

About Virgo VS The Zodiac:

Virgo Vs The Zodiac is a sci-fi/fantasy JRPG inspired by the Mario & Luigi RPG series and the Mother RPG series in which you play as an obsessed villain. The game features traditional turn-based combat with real-time execution of moves: blocking, countering and timing your attacks carefully as well as predicting your foes' moves is essential to succeed in Virgo's twisted and unforgiving cosmic quest to bring back the Golden Age, a period of peace, symmetry and balance, or so she thinks. In this galaxy where every action means a reaction, youll play as Virgo, the Holy Queen, often called Dreadful Queen by heretics, bringing mayhem to the Zodiac Realms and leaving a trail of stardust on the way, all to fit her excessively righteous worldview.

Special Origins Interview:

You can also get a glimpse into the beginnings of the game and how it came to be in this special interview article with the creator Nana. http://blog.rpgmakerweb.com/interview/virgo-vs-the-zodiac/

BitSummit 7 Spirits

Those who attend the event will be able to try out the exciting battle demo in either English or Japanese! Attendees who have tried the demo will receive a random acrylic keychain of a character from Virgo Vs The Zodiac! For those who come to see us at our booth, we will be also handing out Steam keys for the BitSummit demo version, along with an original designed clear file! Supplies are limited so be sure to stop by!

Before Last Word bubbled up into our lives like a sparkling melon wine, a few other Twelve Tiles games were already crawling about like beautiful toddlers. Fleuret Blanc is a mystery in the style of a Virtual Novel mixed with light JRPG fights. The mystery is longer and richer than Last Word's, but you can clearly see what Last Word did to improve on some of the systems. Despite being a bit rougher around the edges, the plot and character interaction is truly worthy. Social Caterpillar is a puzzle game that explores the mechanics of social interacting from the perspective of an introvert who wants desperately to make life easier. It's abstract, it's complex, and it's good. Both of these games can be downloaded for FREE on Itch.io, so... check 'em out if that's what you're into! Thanks! Here's the LINK!

-Added an indicator when changing Key Topics to denote guest/gossip correlations -Art call discrepency -Added Pause image A BIG change in this one. When you scroll through the Key Topics you can now see who has been spoken to by a colored icon. No longer must you click people randomly, fingers crossed, hoping you have not gossiped with them yet! This should streamline one of the processes that seemed to create a lot of frustration, and I'm pretty happy about it. :) -Merlandese

Grab your wine glasses and enjoy the professor's grand display! Last Word has arrived on Steam! I should be hitting the Big Green Button soon! Hey, everyone! It's been a great adventure building this game and I'm excited to have it out for purchase! We're starting the release with a 20% discount to celebrate. A free glass of wine, too! Red? White? Rose? You name it, and you'll get it just as soon as I figure out how to ferment wine in the Steam portal. Enjoy the game, and feel free to leave comments, impressions, concerns, jokes, gossip, and as many other penultimate words as you can in the Steam community. :)
