Upon a Darkening Flood is the first visual novel I ever wrote! I released it in March 2017, during NaNoRenO. You can download it on itch.io.

It’s a short Lovecraftian horror tale set during a fictionalised version of the French Revolution, about the anxieties elicited by a strange library.

It’s partly a visual novel, partly Twine-like interactive fiction: though there are visuals and sounds, there are no sprites, and the emphasis is on the text.

Synopsis

They say that after the Revolution, some great aristocrats went awry, and took part in depraved, occult rituals.

They don’t understand why Lord D. was among them. Wasn’t he an ardent defender of the Revolution?

There’s talk of terrible events occurring in his personal library.

They say he didn’t like it, never went anywhere near it.

They say he couldn’t master it.
