Tell a Demon

[i]"His face was like an abandoned house, it's windows gaping dark, the lonely emptiness of it a thing to turn away from, to flee ━ for ghosts must live there, or demons, or broken stairways that could crack at any moment beneath one's feet, sending one falling, falling into the abyss of what was once someone's well-loved cellar, now home to a scattering of vermin and of lost and forgotten things."[/i] Have you ever wanted to outsmart a demon? In Tell a Demon you can do that and much more. It's a visual novel game set in a 1920s styled fantasy world where the world was once ruled by an immortal Empress. Then it turned out that the Empress was not so immortal after all. her own courtiers had betrayed her, but now it was a hundred years after all of that took place.

I couldn't stop playing and now I've gotten all the achievements :((( I really want to know more about the world of Asher. Can't wait for the next game!!

Nice, shortish, (3 hours for my playthrough), visual novel with many endings. The artwork is really well done. Ran fine, no issues.
