About 10:16

STORY


Going down to get to heaven has never been easy.
You are the Fallen, a believer in a higher power who only wanted to enter Paradise. But when you're sent to the depths of Hell, you can only do one thing: travel through the Nine Circles and state your case of innocence to Satan. Everyone has been kind to you so far. Too kind, maybe. Especially the Keeper of Heresy, the Sixth Circle. In the confines of his space while an ash storm rages outside, the two of you pry each other open. But he might break you first.

FEATURES


Loosely based on real world religions and Dante's Inferno, 10:16 is a story about possessiveness, melancholy, and unfamiliar ash.
  • Over 8,000 words
  • Lo-fi and grunge visuals, combining photography with hand-drawn illustrations
  • 6 endings, all of which decide your fate in the Circle of Heresy
  • Steam achievements
  • Full voice acting in English, done by the lovely Zack Valence.

I'm playing games in alphabetical order and you can watch my review here: https://youtu.be/OjkMQBg-vQw Prefer to read? 10:16 is a short, free, melancholic story about passing through one of the nine circles of hell: Heresy. The story is fairly straightforward, but may be confronting to the devout religious types, as it touches on religious trauma. It's fairly well-written and the voice actor for the main character, Dorian, does an excellent job. The visuals are the standout aspect, supported by the atmospheric music. There are multiple endings to discover, and thanks to the short duration of the game (10-20mins), multiple atttempts are encouraged - but be aware that none of the endings are particularly happy for the main character. Lastly, while I do recommend this game, be aware that there is controversy regarding the developer, Catsket, so I strongly advise doing your own research before deciding to support them.

[h2] Solid game [/h2] [h3] Art Direction [/h3] Let’s talk about the best part first: [b]the art style.[/b] It's beautiful and it has a unique look. [h3] Story [/h3] It’s a bit confusing at first and takes a while to get into, [b]but it definitely gets better as you go.[/b] Also, something to note is that you can make choices and reach multiple endings, which is something not many visual novels have. [h3] Soundtrack [/h3] [/b]About the music, it's nothing out of this world.[/b] It’s just constantly there in the background and changes depending on what’s happening. It's not something I would listen to on my own, but it does a good job setting the mood. [h3] Voice Acting [/h3] The main character's voice is really good.[b] It just fits the character perfectly. [/b] [h3] Gameplay [/h3] It's just a normal visual novel, which you can tell just by looking at the [b]main menu and the settings [/b] of the game. You can make choices and get different endings, and that's about it. The story carries the whole game, so you probably won't like it if you're not into this format. [h3] Conclusion [/h3] If you don't like visual novels, don't even bother. But if you actually like them or just d…

It was a nice little story with beautiful illustrations and a good voice actor as well. There isn't much action involved. It is a simple two-choice based game, but it was soothing to play for me.

have replayed it multiple times just to listen to dorian’s sultry voice (kudos to the VA!). i mean, who cares about pleading innocence to satan or whatever when you have a gorgeous demon who’s obsessed with you [spoiler] (so much he murdered you) [/spoiler], a gothic library complete with an art gallery, and artisan teas?! not me, that's for sure.
