Less than 24 hours until our anniversary sale ends! So if you're in the mood for a #murdermystery set on #Halloween or one revolving around #dinosaurs (or maybe even both), be sure to roll up your digital shopping cart while the deals still last 🛒 #visualnovel #vn #vndev #gamedev #indiedev

Meanwhile, #GENBA was conceived near Loch Ness in late August of 2015 under the simple working title "SHINRAI Investigation"! You can learn more about that here & in the "Evolution Of GENBA"series of posts I shared in the weeks following the release: gosatsu.com/2024/09/14/5...

And in case you've already played both of our previous projects & missed the news, we just released a new #visualnovel continuing the story of #SHINRAI! So be sure to check that one out, too!

Also, Rei was initially planned to be the medical examiner, but there sadly are no sketches of that, since Shin came to life very soon after to steal the job. But either way, Rei's role definitely change the most among the team!

Since we're also celebrating the 2-year anniversary of #GENBA, here are some early design sketches! The very 1st one of Shin & one of Rei when she was gonna be a regular police officer instead of a CSI Technician!

The game is a direct sequel of the original SHINRAI (which came out 10 years ago today!), so if you haven't played that I recommend doing so before tackling this one, and grabbing both if you haven't yet! The first game is now on sale 50% off!
