Cinders is out!

Cinders is finally out, after more than a year of development! It’s been a wild ride but we hope it was worth the wait. You can now purchase the game and there’s also a free demo available, if you would like to try it out first. Have fun, people. And thanks!

Cinders is an atmospheric visual novel, illustrated by Gracjana Zielinska.

 

It’s a story of four women and what made them who they are, inspired by the classic fairytale of Cinderella. A story about balancing freedom and dreams with circumstance and harsh reality; about growing up and finding out the true meaning of independence. Distancing itself from the judgmental simplicity of the original, Cinders tries to explore the more complex nature of oppression, responsibility and innocence.

 

The game focuses on characters and their motivations, and is heavy on player choices and role-playing. With 120 decision points and over 300 options to choose from, Cinders allows you to shape the main character’s personality and the course of the story.

 

Why it’s cool:

  • A serious take on a classic fairytale story.
  • Beautiful art by illustrator Gracjana Zielinska.
  • Tons of choices and several different endings.
  • Moody soundtrack by Rob Westwood.

 

System requirements:

WINDOWS:

Should work on anything with at least 512Mb RAM

 

MAC:

Intel Macs with at least OS X 10.5

    Would you ever consider putting this game on Steam? It might bring it to a wider audience.

    It depends purely on them. If they will be interested, we would be up for it.

    I bet you 20£ your game will be accepted into Steam if you submit it. Perhaps it will take some more time to gauge quite how successful your sales of it are being, but I’m adamant it will happen.

    I think it would be nice to have it there, so that people (and aspiring developers) can have a look and see your personal take on the VN genre. I found it refreshing to play – it’s really surprising to see how the smallest things put together contribute in creating a fresh new experience in a genre that does need some dust to be blown off it.

    I hope you submitted it to them, the only section I could find on the site was for the developer to submit their game.

    (My games queue keeps becoming longer and longer… curse you job!)

    Hey there, bought Cinders, it is pretty wonderful. I was curious if eventually you were going to release a walkthrough, for those of us having trouble finding the last few endings.

    There’s a discussion about how to get various endings on the Forums. I’m not sure if I want to spoil everything, though. Or maybe just not yet.

    Played the demo and looooved it. I wish I had the money to buy the full version, but I suppose that’ll have to wait for a day when I have spending money again. :)
