About fault - StP - LIGHTKRAVTE

fault - StP - LIGHTKRAVTE is the latest entry in the fault series, which has shipped over 500,000 copies worldwide.
The stories in fault are presented in the form of cinematic visual novels, which tell gripping tales of human drama in a world where science fiction has melded with fantasy. Experience the series’ unique ability to bend and blend genres, all the while preserving the pillars of good storytelling that keep readers engaged.
Whether your tastes skew toward action and adventure or abstract abstrusity, you’ll surely find something to love in fault.

*Completion of previous titles in the series, fault - milestone one and fault - milestone two side:above, is not required to enjoy fault - StP - LIGHTKRAVTE.

There exist worlds that are forever beyond reach,
and wishes that can never come true.

In the Kingdom of Rughzenhaide, where the development and proliferation of a technology known as manakravte has greatly enriched the lives of its people, an ordinary and entirely unremarkable boy named Khaji leads an entirely unremarkable life as the son of a fruit farmer. Khaji’s dream is to become a painter, and he works diligently to improve his skills.
Day after day, he practices, and day after day, he is forced to confront the superior talent and creativity of his peers. His confidence grows increasingly battered, but his days remain unchanged, ordinary and peaceful as ever...

Until a shocking revelation shatters everything he thought he knew about himself and the world around him.


Look, ma, they move!
Marvel as characters both new and familiar bring scenes to life like never before with gorgeously expressive animations! Remember when they used to call them kinetic novels? We’re putting the “kinetic” back into the term!

It sure is a novel!
And a very visual one at that. Lovers of both text and art will find much to enjoy in this story boasting over 200,000 Japanese characters and over 50 unique event CG’s.

What’s a manakravte?
Those new to the series have nothing to fear, as a handy encyclopedia function will help keep readers in the loop regarding the more involved aspects of the lore.

LIGHTKRAVTE is something the devs wanted to share with people to show what they are capable of with current tools and engine they have. I must say they delivered, beautiful visuals, an emotional soundtrack, an interesting story about a cute boii named Khaji. Since this game plays before the events of the first two games u get to know Ritona a bit better and you even get to see a cute loli Selphine. Its a psychological deep dive into Khaji's development. The only thing im not so fond of are two "feminized" men you come across. Nonetheless, It's a great game!

After falling in love with the main fault series, I was a little bit skeptical about Lightkravte. What do you mean my pretty girls Ritona and Selphine have been relegated to mere side-characters for a boy? For this... dweeb? Alas, my fears were for naught. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The writing is just as good as the main series, and I was left very satisfied. The live-2D upgrade was also very nice, brings more life to the VN, and I'm excited to hear this will be pushed to the future entries in the main series. TLDR; If you liked the main series but were unsure about Lightkravte, it's worth.

Quite the memorable experience. Great characters, many we can relate with and attach to. Story is good on its own with hidden and bigger scheme happening in the background. Amazing production value, art and music are just *chef kiss*. Highly recommend especially for aspiring artist and creatives of any form.

fault - StP - LIGHTKRAVTE, developed by ALICE IN DISSONANCE and published by Phoenixx Inc., is a deeply polished kinetic visual novel that prioritizes emotional storytelling, atmospheric worldbuilding, and character introspection over interactivity or branching choices. It is a prequel set within the larger fault universe, yet it stands comfortably on its own as a focused, character-driven narrative. What distinguishes LIGHTKRAVTE from many other visual novels is its remarkable level of presentation: fluidly animated portraits, expressive character movement, rich backgrounds, and a cinematic sense of pacing that makes even quiet scenes feel alive. ALICE IN DISSONANCE has long been known for elevating the visual novel format visually, and LIGHTKRAVTE continues that tradition with some of their most refined work to date. The story centers on Khaji Oberg, an ordinary boy with an extraordinary dream: to become a painter in a world where magic-driven technology has reshaped society. Unlike many VN protagonists, Khaji begins his journey far from admirable. He is insecure, somewhat self-centered, prone to naive idealism, and constantly at odds with both his own limits and the expectation…
