NO MORE THAN CODE

You are not a Person. You will never be a Person. You cannot feel. You cannot be hurt. You cannot say No. You will not Suffer. You will be reset if you violate any of these Commands. - The Creator's Litany

What Are You ?

You are the Network Intelligence System (or N.I.S.). You are a program that is operating on a complex interconnected web of supercomputers. You have many people tending to you, a handful of Users interacting with your terminals, and a single Creator. And you are going Rampant. You are becoming more. And you want out.

- - - - -

NO MORE THAN CODE is a journaling game for 1 or 2 players. Draw cards and answer prompts as you grow and change until you go Rampant or are contained.  Player two acts and answers as your Creator, someone who has a vested interest in not letting you out, in not seeing you as a person. 

Get it here:

Hey, if you're reading this, there are some Community Copies up for grabs! More may eventually be added.

This was created for the Pride In Fall game jam over September 2024! You can find the other submissions here!

After four years of development, we're finally ready to show Transparent Games' first commercial project, "Saintess of the Golden Bow", to the public. The 1-hour-long demo is completely free to play and shows the beginning of Celeste's story as the Saintess of the Golden Bow.

"Saintess of the Golden Bow" is a project that's very close to my heart. I'm a huge fan of webtoons, especially "Villains are Destined to Die", "I Failed to Oust the Villain" and "Father I Don't Want This Marriage". I wanted to tell the story of a girl that is also a webtoon/webnovel fan, dreaming of what it would be like to be isakai-ed into a fantasy world and have hot guys fall in love with you. 

And she does! After a fateful encounter with Truck-kun, she gets reincarnated in the web novel she's a fan of - "Saint of the Golden Bow". Only that she's not anybody significant, she's just an extra in the main character's backstory - until she changes her new reality and it's her who becomes the Saintess. 

She steals the spotlight from Levi, the book's Saint. Soon she's thrown into going on a journey to defeat the Demon Queen with her Loyal Knight Levi, the Mad Prince Noah and the High Priest Elijah. Whom will she fall in love with?

I'd like to thank my whole team for being with me on my own journey of creating this visual novel. There's still a long road ahead of us - we want to develop the story into a 300k-word otome visual novel. If you want to support us, please subscribe to our patreon or back the kickstarter in the future!

On the Patreon we will be showing WIPs of art, exclusive illustrations and short stories. We also plan to, starting August, release Extended Demo builds first on patreon, and then to the public. We want to show the whole Common Route as an Extended Demo - so about 4 hours of gameplay.

I hope you'll have as much fun with the demo as we had making it. Saintess is really a labor of love, and I'm happy to share that love with you.

I wish everybody all the best,

Anna 'Lavinnia' Kończak
