Azrael: Herald of Death Dark Storytelling Elements
Azrael: Herald of Death visual novel game with turn-based combat that is coming to both Linux and Windows PC. Thanks to the continued creativity of the team at Vengeance Games, the innovation just keeps coming. Which is working to find its way onto Steam.
Imagine this: You're the galaxy’s original godlike being — not just a bringer of death, but its herald. You’ve seen civilizations rise and fall, watched the stars themselves flicker out, and all this time… you've waited. Waited in the shadows. Played your part. Wore the mask. Now, your time has come.
Welcome to Azrael: Herald of Death, a dark, story-driven visual novel that’s more than just a pretty face with grim vibes. It’s packed with weighty choices, turn-based combat, and even a planet-building system that lets you shape your own corner of the galaxy. And get this — it’s coming to Linux.
Behind this ambitious indie title is Konstantin Sakhnov, a game designer and producer who's spent years in the trenches of browser game development. This is his first ride as a solo indie dev, and he’s gone full beast mode: writing the entire story, coding it all himself, designing the UI, leading the team, and yes — voicing Azrael, the grim reaper protagonist with a cosmic to-do list.
And he’s not alone. The Azrael: Herald of Death project has a passionate crew backing it up: talented artists, a composer laying down an epic score, 15 voice actors breathing life into a cast of complex characters, an animator, and a QA specialist keeping the whole ship tight. Some are veterans of big-name titles, others are fresh blood bringing raw energy — but every single one of them is pouring heart and soul into this title.
