Meanwhile Arabella has a gift waiting for him.

Irving then meets a fairy named Syferness who cannot bless Irving but tells him that there is a book that will teach him a spell that will lift the curse. Syferness brings Irving to the temple. Irving enters. There is a powerful foe in the temple and a book about the history of the temple....

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WORLD
Divine Euphoria takes place in a high fantasy world. Demons hide in dungeons, monsters roam the outskirts of towns and villages. The fields are vast and Irving needs to explore them all. Magic is a dangerous weapon, many people us it, magic is the most dangerous weapon known to human kind, however humans are weak compared to other creatures. Fairies. Demons. Their magic is even more powerful, thy creatures acursed with sacred magic. Demons can defeat anyone in glorious battle with out even moving and inch. Fairies need a magic stone to do their magic, their magic is blessed with good intentions. Spirits are in the form a blue flame, their magic is more complex than humans. For one thing, they can take form of an artificial human.
There is a subconscious hatred between humans and other creatures, humans are considered greedy and emotion driven psychopaths, while other creatures are considered unintelligent barbarians.
Machinery is a rare sight, all machines run on steam and are mostly used for war.

Okay. While it seems you like you have some great things going for you here, there are several things which could use some attention. For a visual novel, the key is visuals. Your images are very drab, and having been resized - look rather unattractive. In addition, you got some grammar errors in there that have to be addressed in ANY game, especially one where all the player does is read. I'm not really a fan of these types of projects, but if you can polish up that stuff I mentioned this could be a good project in its own right. Keep up the good work.
 
Thank you, I will seriously take your advice into consideration during the final product.
(Fixing grammar errors goes without saying, of course.)
 
Just wondering, have you considered voice acting for this project? For a visual novel, decent voice acting is a big plus in my book.
 

Thank you for viewing
