The Voyage Sinister

Intro

TRAGEDY IN THE SNOW! A HUNTER HAS WENT ASTRAY! 

After embarking on a journey from his (barely civilised) homeland, the young Demon Hunter, Valdrich Wolfranov, has gone lost in the deeps of the untamed Roswickan Tundra! Where the best that can happen to a man is be eaten alive.

 All kind of beasts, critters, foes and even fiends wait for the unwary here!

However, as he wanders aimlessly in the wilderness trying to find his way back to Civilisation, he realises that a Horror deadlier than Death hides in the Shadows...!

Synopsis

Destiny's far, but Death is near! - Roswickan saying.

Roswick it's known for many things, none of them good. This vast realm of the far-north is considered uncivilised by everyone, except themselves. Reason: most of it is a monster-infested wildland. 

Our protagonist has three objectives: One, to survive this dangerous wildland. Second, to reach safe haven at the Church of St. Huldra. Third, take rest and continue his journey. Everything is going badly enough with him being lost in God-knows-where, just to turn worse when a dreadful encounter happens in the tundra.

Summary

The Voyage Sinister it's a Gothic story with an investigative and mystery element, set in a Victorian-inspired world. While a jRPG at its core, the game is also a mixture of Visual Novel and Adventure Game. 

Explore, talk to characters, and interact with the environment to find your way out in this creepy adventure.

Use your cunning and skills as a Demon Hunter to resolve the Mystery and protect the Church of St. Huldra. 

The Hunter

Aside from Demon Hunter, Valdrich belongs to a certain kind of creature... Vampires. His types aren't particularly well-liked by the common of people. 

The chances that someone comes to his rescue are less than null. Only he will be able to pull himself out of this peril.

About the Author

This game was created by me, Lilian. A lover of Gothic and Victorian Fiction, and a lousy game developer. I did the art, the story, the mechanics, the characters... Oh my. 

I would like to hear any thoughts that you might want to share. Especially about the story and the characters. Good comments, bad comments, reasonable comments, nonsensical comments, sane comments, insane comments... All welcome! Deliver them below or in my GameJolt, Twitter, Discord, Email and DMs.

Perhaps, if you enjoyed the game, you may consider dropping me your support. That would greatly help me continue this story and create similar ones in the future. If instead, the game caused you any suffering or displeasure, supporting me in that case is fine too.
