The Court of Life And Death - Demo
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
The Court of Life And Death is a visual novel, with multiple branching paths, to choose to examine the nature of life, a good life, justice, mercy. From the standpoint of a middle aged woman who died from a sudden heart attack, with much history, and with much to live for? Can she convince the judges to send her back?
This is a demo of a much larger concept, created within a single month for Spooktober. But the game is complete, as a story, and can standalone as it is.

Holy mother of amazing character designs x3 It's hard to even pick a favourite, but if I were forced to, I think I'd have to go with Azza, but really they're all just gorgeous :3 Not just the character designs though, all the art is a treat for the eyes!
The story is very heartfelt and an interesting concept with a colourful cast of characters. It's really neat that you made it as a standalone demo but that it's also part of a larger world/story. I love stuff like that :3 I wish you the best of luck with future development
Thank you so much for checking it out and your kind words, and I'm glad you liked the concept, it's something that I can carry along, and even remaster the demo that I made as well. I'm really glad to hear that you're excited for future development too.
