『 Not all miracles are good. 』

Synopsis: You play as Nicholas, a guy who had an accident two years ago and lost part of his memory. Because of this you have no friends, no clear objective in life and have gotten behind in what academic matters refers.
The school has deemed necessary (mandatory) for you to attend an eight days seminar in an island located somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean.
Here you will meet five other 'rehabs' who will take part of many activities you will have to perform. But strange things begin to happen...
What you thought it would be eight boring days will become your worst nightmare. Is the island haunted? Is someone else out there besides us? Is there a reason we're here? So many questions to be answered.
Depends on you and your mates to survive in this mysterious place.

Developer Notes:


Keep in mind that this game focuses on character and story development so don't expect blood popping out of nowhere or jump scares the moment you start playing (please, logic). This is a slow game, not as slow as a full visual novel but still. Sadly, I can't show much in the DEMO :( This is an introduction to the island and the characters that opens the curtain for the gruesome events that will take place later.

I'd love to hear some feedback from you guys! This is my first game using this engine. Thank you :V!

This looks pretty cute-- Oh, wait is this a mature game? I wouldn't have guessed by the adorable faces! :p

Either way, this looks pretty cool. :ladyj: Good luck, kyuu!

Haha, thank you :p not as cool as your busts though xD!

Yes, it is intended for teens+. Nothing really shocking happens in the DEMO, however, later on things get... a little bit sick. Ever heard of Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni?

I present to you my friend Rena-chan:

Even though the game seems childish it touches various controversial topics such as religion, death, time travel and other scientific theories (well... that's the idea). Sadly, I can't show much in the DEMO but feel free to try it out! If you enjoy visual novel kinda games maybe you will like it.

Awww, thanks! :) My sister (Dr.Mc) drew them for me.

I think I've heard of that... Isn't that a very dark and brutal anime? o.o I seem to recall my best friend's brother being into it.

Anyways, I love a good mystery but I'm easily squeamish and tend to avoid the really dark stuff. :( I might give this demo a try at sometime, though! :-)

Oooh, your sister is very skilled! I wish I could draw like that xD! Can't wait to try out the game you guys are making. In fact, I just downloaded The Postman lol :p

Yes, kinda. Adorable anime chibi girls turning into murderous monsters from mysterious causes xD! But it actually has a pretty decent story behind.

That'd make me really happy :D Don't worry, the DEMO is mostly comedy. Getting to know the characters, the island and stuff...

Hey, that's awesome! :) I hope you like it! The Postman was developed as a challenge project, and we ended up making it in a week. I was the dialogue writer and eventer on the team. :-)


It sounds like I'll definitely have to try out your demo soon. I might have some free time to take a crack at it tomorrow! I'll certainly let you know what I think when I give it a try. :]
