Sylvan Disappearance

2018
Visual Novel

Horror · Mystery

A tightly-wound visual novel, Sylvan Disappearance hinges on its commitment to player choice and the consequences that follow. The narrative, a haunting tale of a missing girl and a secluded village, branches dramatically based on your decisions, fostering a sense of dread as you uncover the truth. Its power lies in its restraint: the evocative art style and sparse soundtrack amplify the story's heavy themes, making each revelation all the more impactful.

About Sylvan Disappearance

Details
Mirabelle and Célia have always loved inventing stories, and acting on stage too. They used to entertain their friends by running story nights for them, in the woods near their village. Not anymore, though. Three months have past since the incident which shattered their friendship, and Mirabelle has begun a new life far away, in a bustling city by the sea. One day, Mirabelle receives a letter from Martin, another friend of hers: 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. If you ever find the time, do not hesitate to write to her. Could this mark the beginning of a renewed friendship? Perhaps. But not all secrets can be told truthfully, even to one's closest friend.
