Hello hello, I wanted to talk to everyone about Break Chance Memento, an English Visual Novel coming out in a couple days. I've been part of the beta-testing team and have been in contact with one of the developers, a good friend of mine. This game has been in development for five years as the ambitious first project of Cyanide Tea. They've released many other works in the meantime, but this is their biggest project to date. I can say from a firsthand experience of testing and talking with my friend that this game has so much love and effort put into it. They work they have done really is exceptional and the writing and cast stands out as one of the shining features of the game. Here's the info from their Greenlight page, which can be found below with more info and also the details for the giveaway!
Trailer:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DU88mihZ1WIBreak Chance Memento (BCM) is the latest visual novel by
Cyanide Tea[cyanide-tea.net]. BCM is primarily a story about family bonds across time and involves time travel, tracking down a serial killer, and potential gay romance. Can Shuuki save the people he cares about by traveling through time? Whether or not he makes it through to a happy ending is completely up to the player's decisions.
STORYFour years ago, Shuuki's world was turned upside-down when his twin sister, Fuyuka, died in an accident at just 12 years of age. His parents blamed her death on the negligence of their eldest son, Natsume. The Amamiya family was never the same.
One fateful morning, Shuuki stumbles across the gruesome sight of his brother Masaharu's corpse. When all hope is lost and Shuuki must come to terms with the fact that his brother has been murdered, the mysterious Kyousuke appears before him with a proposition:
"Do you want to bring your brother back? To fix your family's broken relationship? You can?if you learn to travel through time."
Before he knows it, Shuuki is caught in a plot far more sinister than he could have ever imagined. He learns that the key to traveling through time and stopping innocents from being killed lies in mementos: items that are a link between the past, future, and present.
FEATURES- A compelling science fiction story about a dysfunctional family and the youngest child's quest to save not just their lives, but their relationship
- Over 6 hours of visual novel gameplay and exploring the city of Nagasaki, looking for mementos, and time traveling
- 8 different endings with 4 pursuable characters and lots of variation in the story based on the 70+ choices presented to the player
- 50+ unlockable CGs/images
Break Chance Memento will be released for Windows, Mac, and Linux computers via itch.io on December 16, 2015 and retail for $19.99. We have a demo available to download
[cyanidetea.itch.io] that covers the first 2 chapters of the game (out of 5). For more information, please visit the official BCM website
[bcm.cyanide-tea.net].
The game will be coming out on December 16th, so the release is imminent and the game is done! But to help make the game a success, they're planning for a release on Steam as well, which means going through Greenlight.
Go help the Greenlight if you can! It means a lot to everyone involved and it takes no time at all to do. And as an added bonus, everyone who buys the game through itch.io before the Steam release will get a Steam code to redeem on your account for no extra charge!
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=574702741And I am also doing a giveaway to help celebrate the release of BCM. Everyone who comments in this thread will be entered to get a key, simple as that. You don't need to prove you clicked yes on the Greenlight, but doing so will greatly help the chance of the game getting through and getting you that code for use on your Steam account! The giveaway will end on the 17th and everyone will be entered once, chosen by an RNG bot. I will get in touch with you to give you your code after that!
Feel free to ask me anything about the game, I'm glad to answer any questions and share my thoughts on it.
Thanks a ton for listening and I hope you're interested in a very unique and important game for these independent developers!
