Lost soul, wandering through mist and snow...

Do you feel the touch of iron cold?

The Last Winter Knight is an atmospheric Gothic visual novel I'm currently developing, where you play as a ghostly knight haunting a suit of armour!

You wake up as a ghost, with no memory of who you were or how you died. The only clue to your past is the empty suit of armour you now possess.

As you explore an abandoned castle and piece together your memories, you’ll uncover your tale: A tale of broken promises, regret, and bonds that last beyond death.

But your story doesn’t have to die with you.

How will you write its ending?

♥️ Honey Trap: Burned Release ♥️

A short night with your hitman ex-boyfriend after he gets injured while protecting you.

It's been two weeks after reuniting with your annoying ex-boyfriend Zachariah Crowley.

Two weeks of you working on trusting him again.

Two weeks of fleeting touches and unspoken words fuelled by memories of the past and a love that is still there.

But that fragile tranquility is shattered when Zachariah is left injured and bleeding after an ambush and It's up to you to get you both to safety.

Between stitching his wounds, all too familiar banter, and whispered confessions...

Will Zachariah finally tell you the truth about his betrayal?

WE ARE SO BACK!!!!

I helped out for the character art on this, and for those of you into the hitman/assassin genre and pathetic men, HAVE WE GOT SOMETHING FOR YOU!!!

I'm so honored the game got 8th in best stories and was selected as one of the gHosts' choices!

Night Drive is around 10-15 mins long with multiple hand-drawn CGs and has 4 possible endings, currently. (There will be another chapter updated to the game in the future. I had the draft written but couldn't make it to the jam.)

Play the game on Itch.io!

Happy Halloween everyone! ヾ(*ΦωΦ)ツ

Revamped concept art for characters that'll appear in mine and @sourmiiiilk's next game: The Eye's Embrace. Shoutout to Milk for helping me make changes to Crow and Salem's drips. <3

Art style isn't consistent between each character, since I drew all of them at dramatically different times.

More info about them and art under the cut!

═════════════════════════════════

These guys are your potential roommates at Evergreen Grove University.

From left to right:

Crow: An emo dude who absolutely does not even remotely believe in the paranormal. He has a bit of a temper, but cares deeply for his friends Absinthe and Salem. Crow spends his free time pumping iron at the university's student gym, binging horror movies, and searching for a friend of his who's gone missing.

He's 23 years old.

He majors in tech (IT).

Absinthe: A scene girl who's totally in love with the game StarBlitz. She ships Strawberry Paws and Zephyr, and likes to incorporate elements of her favorite characters (and hobbies) into her outfits. She's a ball of sunshine, an avid competitive gamer, and always makes time to hang out with her friends Salem and Crow. Although she participates in Salem's paranormal investigations, she's terrified of the occult!

She's 24 years old.

She majors in fashion design.

Salem: A goth guy who isn't allowed to dress gothic due to his helicopter parents. He's PASSIONATE about paranormal investigation, he even has a whole channel dedicated to the spoooooky adventures that he and his friends Absinthe and Crow embark on. He's similar to a golden retriever, always full of energy and hope, even being a bit naive at times. He has no sense of personal safety.

He's 24 years old.

He majors in film production.

Nikolaos was intended to have either blue or brown eyes, but I found it fun (and a little funny) to just give him one of each. And now he always looks like this meme to me
