Limerence

2022
Visual Novel

Horror

Limerence finds its strength in the delicate balance between its character-driven narrative and its interactive elements. The core of the experience revolves around building relationships through dialogue choices, each decision subtly influencing the complex emotional arcs of the protagonists. What elevates Limerence beyond genre conventions is the way it uses its branching narrative to explore the nuances of intimacy, desire, and heartbreak, leaving a lasting impression long after the credits roll.
a short story of a captive and a captor chatting over dinner. not so much horror but more a tense, uneasy atmosphere and an imbalance of power. named after the yves tumor song of the same name, part of the art without blood universe, but you aren't required to play the [currently] demo to understand this game. based on an unpublished set of poems. made for the O2A2 jam. this jam has restrictions that require 1 cg (or sprite and background), 1 sound effect, 1 bgm, and 1k words. this game is about 5-10 minutes in length.
