About Coalescence

About the Game

Coalescence is a visual novel that invites you into a corrupted facility known as Moniker Labs for a night of festivities, romance, and terror!

Key Features
As you explore Moniker's halls, you'll meet several people who have all been affected by the corporation in some capacity. These unique individuals come from a variety of backgrounds and express themselves in distinctive ways. This makes your dialogue choices very important if you want them to trust you, reveal secrets, help you in your endeavors, or depending on what you find most important; flirt!

Play as one of three characters, each with their own backstory, motivation for investigating, and special abilities to use in dialogue.

Playable Characters
A cunning reporter who will stop at nothing to uncover the truth behind Moniker. With their strong experience in investigative reporting, the Journalist can use the Investigate ability to ask insightful questions that gives more information on the current subject.

A private investigator who’s been pulled into a bigger case than they ever could’ve realized. From their many years on the force, the Detective, a now free agent gone rogue is able to use Deduction to pick up on small details that help get a better picture of the situation.

A scientist who’s been forced into the Moniker conspiracy due to an incident on the job at the very facility under investigation. With their newfound ability, \, the Lab Tech aims to stop Moniker’s plot by any means necessary!

Coalescence is not a game, it's an e-book that's been dumped on Steam masquerading as a game. As a visual/interactive novel, this doesn't feature any notable gameplay, it's just a lot of clicking through badly written dialogue that would never have been accepted or published in print, which poses the question, "How did something this badly written end up on Steam?". When someone hoping to become an author is unable to get published in print, they spend $100 and dump their high school fan-fiction onto Steam, under the guise of a game. This is a weird "investigative" Choose Your Own Adventure e-book with somewhat nonsensical writing, supplemented by shoddy greyscale "art", and no real reason for anyone to bother to read it (check out the reader counts below, this was a massive flop even for an e-book on Steam). Visual novels/e-books are tedious at best... imagine the best novel you ever read, be that Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy or 2001: A Space Odyssey or Twilight (if you have terrible taste in literature), but then translate that to a format where the words dribble out and you have to click your mouse every time you wanted to read the next sentence, instead of just turning …

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Games like Slay the Spire that keep the branching climb

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
