Amadeus: A Prologue For Thee (Prototype)

Witches are tricky... but they have magic that can do the unfathomable, and as the moon Aska draws full, you have no choice but to strike a deal with one...

Play as Amadeus as he seeks to uncover lost knowledge about werewolves. A melancholy fantasy game demo, fully playable in-browser.

This was a prototype for a visual novel/puzzle game. The full game is being developed as a 5-episode series for MacOS, PC, and Linux, and has taken on a very different and much more fleshed-out form. For updates and details on the current project: https://linktr.ee/amadeusgame
