Visual novels have been a big part of my life for the past few years. Many of my favourite stories ever are VNs, and VNs are the medium I find most creatively fulfilling too.
I like their engaging presentation, and their subculture-within-a-subculture status makes them an exciting place to tell stories you wouldn’t see anywhere else.
You can find any VN I’ve published on my itch.io creator page!
I’m mostly interested in horror, mysteries, sometimes in historical settings, though I’d like to branch out in the future too.
Below, you’ll find more details about each project I’ve worked on. You can also access more details on each project directly from the side menu.
Blooming Chasm
None of this needed to happen.
This isn’t the reality we should be living in— we’re in the wrong place…
We got the worst deal of them all.
My current VN project.
Blooming Chasm is a Gothic horror/mystery visual novel set in the midst of a class reunion. It’s inspired by Tsukihime, Shinsekai Yori, Ocean Waves and Reply 1997, and features a lesbian romance.
Current progress: still working on the first draft, 52 000 words out of about 100 000 words in total.
On Mount Ségou (2023)
There was a long-held belief,
In the Azurium Air Fleet
of the Mogho Naaba.
It was said…
That good fortune would come to a newly-wed captain,
If she took her bride far, far below the cloud layers,
To offer a heartfelt prayer,
To the Nameless One, on Mount Ségou.
A very short (5-10 minutes) dark fantasy visual novel that I released in July 2023, as part of the “Only One of Any Asset” (O2A2) game jam.
It features an old-school sound novel/NVL presentation, and a focus on atmospheric horror. I hope you enjoy it!
Sylvan Disappearance (2018)
Not all secrets can be shared truthfully, even to one’s closest friend.
This is none of my concern, surely, but I fear I must ask… Has Célia written to you yet?
If I may hazard a guess —she has not at all, has she?
I do not believe that she has spent a very pleasant summer, but I would like to believe that very soon, life will turn out all the better for her.
An epistolary mystery visual novel set in a fictional Victorian setting.
After a fallout with her friend Célia, Mirabelle leaves her village to find her luck in a seaside city. Soon, both friends start writing to each other, but strange events start occurring back home.
Sylvan Disappearance features a slight touch of folk horror, strange persistent dreams, and a lightweight lesbian romance.
The pacing and plot may be all over the place, but I still stand by the atmosphere— this story is really dear to me!
Upon a Darkening Flood (2017)
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.
A short (10 000-word long) Lovecraftian horror tale set in a fictional French revolution setting. It deals with the anxieties elicited by a strange library.
Though this is a visual novel, there are no character sprites— most of the atmosphere comes from sounds and music!
