Coven

Post by Chris N. »

Thank you for the invite, my name's Chris and I've recently announced an adventure game I've been working on for some time.

Image

Coven is a dark-fantasy horror adventure game set in a medieval past, loosely inspired by Carrie and The Witch.

The Story:
As a young orphan girl, you’ve always had a gift. An occult power which you’ve managed to keep a secret for all of your life. After being falsely accused of Witchcraft and sentenced to death, an unthinkable act of desperation sets you free again, but your life as you knew it is over. Hunted by the King’s henchmen, your only chance of escape is to learn to embrace your gift to survive as you set off on a perilous journey across a dangerous and hostile landscape, searching for a safe refuge.

I've only announced the game this past week, but there's more than a few surprises in store to reveal as I move closer towards the finish. I expect it to be finished sometime in early 2021, if not sooner.

Here's some early screenshots:

Features:
– A mature fairy tale with adult themes and dark subject-matter.
– Detailed animations and cinematic visual effects, with 640×360 graphics resolution.
– An epic musical score and dynamic sound effects.
– Characters fully voiced by professional actors.
– Over 100 different locations to discover, illustrated and brought to life with animated effects.
– Gestural spell working, draw runes and sigils directly on screen with your PC’s mouse to cast spells.
– Traditional adventure game play with a twist, based on Witchcraft and European folklore.

Thank you so much for taking a look!

Thanks for looking, I'm going to try and have a demo done by Halloween but I'm not sure I can finish it by then. In the meantime I'll keep you posted!
