Servant of the Order Reversed

It's been nearly a year since you arrived at the Academy, chasing dreams of knighthood that twisted into something unforeseen. You've adapted to its peculiarities, finding your place amid the shadows. Today, your leash belongs to Seraphine - she's requested a simple pitcher of water, yet the air in her council chamber hums with unspoken tension.

I invite you to play this small tech teaser demo concept for the game I've been thinking of making for a long time.

Inside it you'll find a tiny glimpse at my vision, hopefully one that can legitimize in your eyes both my technical craft and the artistic vision.

Please, consider supporting the project's fundraising efforts through Patreon or Itch.io! Securing a couple of hundreds of dollars of initial capital would allow me to pay my basic overdue bills and stay alive. Here's a few reasons why you might consider it worthy of backing up:

The narrative will focus mostly on the original dark fantasy main story with a femdom/role reversal focused romance side. For the latter - I want to steer away from the usual, fetish dispenser style of portraying female domination in erotic games. Protagonist will not be topping from the bottom in this story.

Characters art and Live2D will be made by me, by hand. I know it looks rough. It's been only a month since I started drawing, and I haven't ever touched Live2D untill two days ago. With that in mind, I promise it is the worst it will ever be! 

If you're not into those themes, then maybe you're gamedev yourself? In that case you might find supporting the project useful due to the technical aspects I work on.

I want to bring a unique experience to the visual novel genre, inspired by Cultist Simulator. By building the game around board and cards, I hope to create a fun and smooth environment that prioritizes player freedom while eliminating the 'interface fatigue' common in sandbox titles, replacing confusing map navigation and intrusive popups with intuitive, emergent gameplay.

But don't fret - it does not mean trading sandbox navigation smoothness for the card gameplay lag. My game uses custom, handwritten python game engine and renderer inside RenPy. No lagging cards, rollback crashes, ruined saves. And the best part - this part of the game is completed in ~80%. Which means the tempo of development will pick up significantly once finished.

The game will be 100% free, with no paywalled content.  I believe that art is like love - if you have to pay for it, it wasn't real. 

Also: you'll support eastern european developer, which makes every $ you share worth like 5$ shared with western one. For the small price of starbucks grande latte you allow me to survive another day!
