All That Glitters Is Gold
Plot
You've lived in a small town in the mountains all your life, sorrounded by the festivities of old times and the warmth of the people that lives there. Winter was allways hard, yet, it became harder and harder, to the point it was unberable. It never stoped, and it didn't look like it would.
You arm yourself with courage, and decide to go talk with the Gods at the Gods Altar, up in the mountain, under a never ending storm.
Will you stop this never ending winter?
Gamewise:
-This is a short Visual Novel with no save and load system doed to it's lenght.
-The first part comprehends a labyrinth, filled with clues to find the right path. Be careful! If you run into a dead end far too many times, you'll have to start from the begining again.
-The second, on the other hand, is a matter of choosing the right options across the dialogue.
Endings:
There's only two endings, one good, one bad. Don't worry, the bad ending will give you a chance to restart from the second part onwards!

Wow you've created another VN! I just finished reading through it. I really like the atmosphere you've built up throughout the game... especially with the BGM and sounds! They managed to convey a deep sense of sadness and despair... and longing for the past. The end of the story really took me by surprise! Is the story a reference to a myth? I looked it up but I don't think I found the right references! I really like the art in the game as well... especially the backgrounds with the night sky and mountain scenery!
Thank you so much for dropping by and playing!
The idea behind the story was to create a myth, trying to diverge as much as posible from the ones already stated, like Hades, Persephone and Demeter. But also for it to be a folk tale, but also in a fairy tale kind of setting. You could say it probably takes from many places at once, like old tales, songs, you name it! Funny enought, I even think it took from your VN with the elements I used to sort of glue the romance together! So I'd say it's great that you liked it lol
As for the art... yes, Rads went far and beyond with it, he tottaly made it feel alive!
