Greetings! For a long time I've been creating a 2D adventure game about a serial killer.

I've got new demo ready on Steam

The player will follow a serial killer through the eyes of his own conscience. He will become a spectator to his horrific acts of murder and loss of control. You are also confronted with different perceptions and interpretations of the killer's inner world, but he is struggling to understand what is happening around him. You, as the conscience, will have a limited area of control at first, but due to the "right" choices you may (or may not!) make, you will be much freer.

There are three character roles - Conscience, Serial killer character and the Inner Voice, ie. The Whisperer. Each role will in its own way control the game - its mechanics, the main character's actions and direction in the story going forward, while also uncovering specific memories and traumas.

Story points to a single endgame. The closer you get to the end, the more people you hurt in the game. If you weaken the main character enough, you will be free to make decisions and thus commit suicide, which equals an alternate ending. However, by doing so you will lose a lot of game content.

- Theme of serial killers and their inner world.
- Very unconventional take on the adventure genre.
- Anxious atmosphere and grim audiovisual style.
- Decisions will affect game content.
- Expressive game content, blood and nudity.
- Extensive game time (about 6 hours).
- Three visual styles, that affects the narrative.
- Many optional interaction in environments with various hidden stuff.

Any feedbacks are more than welcome. What do you think about the game? Thanks for your attention!
