Lost soul, wandering through mist and snow...

Do you feel the touch of iron cold?

The Last Winter Knight is an atmospheric Gothic visual novel I'm currently developing, where you play as a ghostly knight haunting a suit of armour!

You wake up as a ghost, with no memory of who you were or how you died. The only clue to your past is the empty suit of armour you now possess.

As you explore an abandoned castle and piece together your memories, you’ll uncover your tale: A tale of broken promises, regret, and bonds that last beyond death.

But your story doesn’t have to die with you.

How will you write its ending?

The demo for Snow White Ashes, a dark, romantic fairy tale VN, is out now!

One winter night, you meet a hunter in the woods: A man so warm and gentle you feel as if you've known him all your life.

But appearances can be deceiving. 

You'd know that well, wouldn't you?

Snow White Ashes is a romance visual novel (GxB) made for a couple of end of year game jams, and playable now on itch.io!

The demo includes:

6k words

1 ending with 2 variants*

Hand drawn artwork (5 CGs)

An original piano-based soundtrack

One charming, not at all bloodthirsty love interest

You, a completely innocent and guileless heroine.

Game link (itch.io)

(For long time friends: Yes, this is a reboot of some very, very old OCs in the Mistwalker verse. I hope you'll enjoy what their new story has to offer!)

I had the realisation I could put whatever I want in my game so-

Haunt a suit of armour. Find your memories.

Lay the ghosts of the past to rest... including your own.

You wake up as a ghost, with no memory of who you were or how you died. The only clue to your past is the empty suit of armour you now inhabit.

As you explore an abandoned castle and piece together your memories, you’ll uncover your tale: A tale of broken promises, regret, and bonds that last beyond death.

Point and click exploration

Every night, you awaken in your studio and paint your masterpiece. 

Or, at least, you try to.

Oh, if only your muse would return.

If only lifting your brush didn't fill your fingertips with agony.

“It Paints Me”, a short Gothic horror visual novel I made for Scream Jam, is now available on Itch!

It's 3k words long and includes two endings, hand drawn artwork and original music.

(The scariest part of the game is the title, I know how paintful my puns are)

Happy Halloween!

Notice: The Last Winter Knight's demo will be taken down on Dec 20th.

Full devlog on Itch, but the tl;dr is that the story has changed quite a bit since I first wrote it and the demo no longer reflects it accurately. The mood, themes and atmosphere of the game won't change, but it still needs a rework!

Thank you for all the support you've given the game so far (especially the recent influx of players!) and I'll let you know once a new one is up. If you'd still like to see the demo, please do so on Steam or Itch before December 20th. Thank you!

Psst, that day is also when the new cover art will be revealed...
