Fallen devotion is more than just a story- it's a reflection of existential dread, guilt, and human desire for redemption. As a philosophy nerd, I wanted to explore themes like eternal return, choices, and the fine line between love and obsession,
Nietzsche's philosophy is what inspired me into creating this game, particularly ideologies from Thus Spoke Zarathustra and The Birth of Tragedy.
(This is my first vn ever. I have no coding experience so please be gentle, I'm still learning and this is just a demo.)

Three years have passed since your childhood best friend's death. Three years of trying to move on, of trying to forget the misunderstandings, guilt eating you up to the point you couldn't show up to his funeral.
It all started with nightmares so vivid they left you breathless, then the strange signs, from the feeling of being watched to the weight of a presence you couldn't explain.
Everywhere you turn memories of him cling to you, refusing to let go.
One thing is clear though, Clive is back and something about him has changed;
His love for you, once warm and pure, now feels as sharp as a blade.
Every choice pulls you deeper into the waters of grief, longing and the lengths someone would go for a second chance.
What you see is Clive 'reborn' split between two natures, a personification of the eternal return and the balance-or clash-between the Apollonian and Dionysian spirits.
Remember, some promises can open doors that can never be closed again.

I actually cried playing this the amount of friends I've lost(not to death but you get it) it hurts it does so much this game even as a demo did such a good job at showing the guilt of loss. Also some things that might help make people feel like they're actually in the game is to play regular background sounds just like birds chirping and shit and with stuff like the doorbell to add that sound + when we said we could hear the wind that's be a nice time to add that sound or even just have it then and highten the sound of it when we talk about it also a good sound to fill silence and add suspense and worry/fear to a scene is cicadas! anyway amazing game cant wait for the full release!!!!
How much will this game be when it comes out?

Hey, hope you're doing amazing. I finished the game right now, got both endings and can't wait for more. I wanted to ask if there were any platforms that we could see when you'll update the game, and also ask if there'll be any updates soon. Take your time with answering and I hope you see this cause I really wanna know. Also, could you tell me how you learnt coding? I'd appreciate it all. Thank you and I hope you'll have a great day, noon or night.

clive be worrying that i'll find out but what if im into that ???😝😝
first thing I fell in love with was the art style, because it’s something that immediately clung to me. The story was well thought of along with well put together. I hope when and if the full release of the game is published, that it’s free. I honestly can’t and most likely won’t stop thinking about this game
I just fall in love with this game so damn bad. i often look for that one game that will keep me going and you just created my whole personality for my whole life.(just joking ) i love the characters i unlocked 3 endings by far i dont now f there is any more. i cant wait for the full game and even if it will cost milions of dollars i will still buy it. its so interesting. i want to play more and more to understand it i cried like a baby too. this game makes me feel like i wanto to stay o my laptop ust to play it while ignoring everyhing. You did a very good job at making it. i wish you nice and calm work. a lot o rest and the best time of your life for that. i can wait as long as much time you need to finish. i will stay loyal to this game untill im done with it. love yaaaaa!!!

Just ended the demo, played through all the endings, i LOVED it! The writing is amazing! You can taste the philosophy and i'm craving for more! What truly happened? Whos lying? So many truth to uncover!!! You're thanking us for playing the game, but thank YOU for making it! I'm impatient to see what's next ^^
