Artificia

This is the first-chapter demo of our cyberpunk visual novel game, 'Artificia'. The demo is playable as an in-browser HTML game and a downloadable .exe file. The official release date is TBD.

How to Play

There are two versions of the demo: an embedded HTML version (for ease of access) and a downloadable .exe.  Please bear in mind that playing the HTML version will prevent you from porting your save file to the main game once it is released, and it will not include animated backgrounds.

Missing Father, Defecting Bots...

Set in the cyberpunk, near-future dystopian world of Myvia, in the city of Mensonia, a powerful government controls the means of production of robots, called ‘bots’. These bots back every aspect of everyday life, but the story unwinds as robots begin to defect against their human owners. 

You are Luna Ashfall (first name changeable), the pink-haired, industrious daughter of Orvis Ashfall, the lead engineer of bots. Your father was just arrested for suspicion of treason for implanting a bug within robots that allowed them to rebel. How will you save your father and prevent a disaster from happening between the bots and your government?

Characters

Artificia features 8 romance-able characters with 6 male and 2 female characters. Relationships with suitors are measured by two meters: a 'rebel' meter and a 'romance' meter. By influencing these two measures with each suitor, the player can end up with one of over 40 endings in the game.

(From Left to Right)

Elina - The charming and playful Myvian Ambassador with a habit of hiding how she really feels.

Wesley- The musing librarian of Mensonia Library has an eye for logical fallacies and sometimes gets lost in his train of thought.

Heis- The stern military commander of the Mensonian Standing Army prioritizes protecting Myvia over paltry small talk.

Stercus- The dysfunctional shopkeeper who often switches personality archetypes a little quickly for comfort.

Ilis- The smooth-talking two-faced mystery who appears to deal with shady black market deals.

Nemo- The child-faced leader of the rebel bots with a hidden past that fuels his hatred of humans.

Zane- The quiet ex-military commander who works closely by Nemo to ensure operations go smoothly.

Petra- The chaotic stealth agent with a sharp tongue and even sharper knife.
