About CITADEL

Light. Brilliant, white light scatters across the surface of the primordial solution suspending my body. You awake suspended in a warm, primordial soup with no idea who or where you are. Breaking free from your watery dwelling, you find yourself in a secluded valley with no sign of life. A path stretches out before you, illuminating three mysterious buildings and a giant looming tower.

Filled with an unshakeable curiosity, you venture out to the mighty CITADEL to discover the answers to your existence. Keep the future in mind as your stumble ahead into the darkness... CITADEL is a philosophical sci-fi visual novel that explores ideas of morality and existential discovery. It focuses on meaningful choices, heavy atmosphere and mystery.

Key Features:Philosophical narrative – A story-rich tale full of secretsUnique art style – Using stylised "greenscale" pixel art graphicsInteractivity – Choices that make you thinkAtmosphere – Heavy atmospheric environments with evocative proseOriginal soundtrack – Hand-crafted by yours trulyMultiple Endings – Replay to find them all

Fun lil existential visual novel-type game Great pixel art visuals with a limited color palette, some felt like modern renditions of old paintings to me…
