About Novalie

✦ AI summary

Novalie is a dark visual novel where you guide Ashia through a nightmare of family dysfunction, supernatural horror, and mysterious encounters with an enigmatic stranger who knows far more than she reveals. Navigate branching paths through this twisted tale of blood-soaked dread and dark humor to uncover the secrets of Ashia's nightmares and the true identity of the captivating Novalie.

Poor Ashia; in a few days she's forced to marry her slimy uncle. And as if that wasn't enough, her psychopathic brother is turning her days into a living hell. And at night she's haunted by surreal nightmares where she's eaten alive by wraiths in a dark forest.
Then she meets Novalie. She's everything that Ashia isn't: slim and sexy, bouncy, restless, boundless, careless ... very ...very unpredictable and ... mysterious. And she seems to knows MUCH more than she lets on ...

Novalie is a visual novel, with lots of choices and branching paths, where you have guide Ashia through her challenges and misery. It's a dark horror story filled with blood and tears, but also a bit of twisted humour. Ashia’s world is unfair, scary and often hopeless. And even though the ghosts of her dreams are scary, they are nothing compared to the humans in her real life.

So what's the secret of the dark forest in Ashia's dreams? And who's painting the drawings which seems to appear in her notebook at night? Who's brutally attacking her family members? Is there a way out? What's the thing with the mysterious shower knob? And most importantly ... who is Novalie?

✦ AI summary

Novalie is an underrated visual novel from Biscuit Placebo that impresses players with its well-written, gripping story, phenomenal music, and charming minimalist aesthetic. The game tackles controversial and heavy themes that won't be for everyone, but those comfortable with its content praise the emotional resonance of the characters and narrative, with fans of the developer's previous works particularly appreciating the callbacks. Players feel it's worth experiencing, especially for those drawn to character-driven indie visual novels with artistic merit over flashy graphics.

Super underrated. Always loved Biscuit Placebo's games ever since I discovered You.Me.Hell in 2016.

This is a really good 'visual novel style game' that achieves a lot with minimal means. Script is quirky and well-written. The music is phenomenal. The story is gripping, controversial, and sad.

As someone who had played the previous games, I was really looking forward to seeing the next entry by Biscuit Placebo. Sure it took a year and all, but I can say that this game is great! Not recommended for those aren't comfortable with certain things, as stated in the warnings. Overall I didn't really care about it and still enjoyed the story regardless. The simplistic graphics give it a unique charm, and the music lends itself well to whatever scene is currently gong on. The overall story is great and the characters themselves help the player to either feel bad for them or want to slap them in the face. As someone who played the previous games, I really enjoyed seeing cameos from the characters from your other works, such as Freja. It also seems like a coincidence that Tova looks like Novalie, but they are very clearly different characters despite their similar looks. I've only managed to get one ending so far. One thing I wish was in game was a ending tracker that allowed the player to see what endings they've gotten and what led to it. Plus maybe some hints on the other endings? Still, looking forward to that walkthrough. Overall, it's a great game worth the money.

Really glad this story was written. I never identified with a main character so much. The graphic art style actually helped me through the disturbing events of this VN.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

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.
