In The Shadow of the Versipellis
A downloadable game
This is an adult game for ages 18 and up!
About
Throughout history we've heard stories about strange and terrifying creatures. Those that change their shape by the moonlight, suck the blood of the innocent or lure the unsuspecting to their death.
In the modern age, these creatures are purely fantasy. Or are they?
For countless generations an organization known as the APS (Anomalous Protection Society) has secretly walked a path between the human world and that of the anomalous. Its goal is to protect humans from harm and to preserve the existence of these rare anomalies. A balance that's not easily kept.
You play as Sean Desmond, a young and newly instated agent of the APS, struggling to come to grips with the recent and brutal death of his partner. His first assignment takes him back to his hometown, where he must face the ghosts of his past, unravel a series of deadly murders, and uncover a plot within his own organization that could jeopardize everyone he holds dear.
Caught in the middle are three unique and unlikely allies that must work together if they are to survive, but are some grudges too deep? Your actions will dictate how the story will end!
Who will you choose to save? Who will be by your side when the world turns against you? Will you choose revenge or forgiveness?

About the Demo
Current: Alpha DEMO 1.2.1_P1_U
This promotional demo is designed to be a short experience that lets you get a small taste of what kind of game we're building. It's still rough in places and there will likely contain typo's and small bugs.
We plan to resolve these issues as the game is developed. In addition, we plan on showing off new features and expanding the playable length with future updates to the demo.
We hope you'll like what you see and will help support the development of our game. We're excited see what we can build together.
Thank you!

I am kindly wondering when should we expect build 1.2.3 to be released to public. Or the continuation of the demo.
Is there a way for me to download it on Android
Not yet, but we're currently looking into making a mobile version of this game for Android and Iphone users.
When will the next public build be released?
We're still focused on improving the quality of the current build as we wrap up the first chapter. I think somewhere after the next internal alpha build we'll release a new public demo.
I think PC version doesn't work.
Can you post the error message your getting? Does the game crash or not start up for you?
After running the game, the game window appears, but after waiting for a few seconds, the music and screen lag and then it just shuts down for no reason.
In the games directory, can you find and post the results from the log.txt and the error.txt into the support page? https://civis-rasa.itch.io/in-the-shadow-of-v/devlog/713185/support
I really haven't read very far yet (just until the end of the first meeting with Ali), but so far it seems pretty good.
The game could do with a proofread. There are a few simple misspellings (for example the place the MC gets assigned to is spelled in 3 different ways), titles and sometimes names are in lowercase, "and" often comes without a comma when there should be one, and vocative commas are missing most of the time. Also, there's a bunch of lines ending without punctuation.
I also think it would be neat if the MC could be named by the player, but maybe you have a reason to withhold that option?
Anyway, I wish you good luck with the game.
Thank you for the feedback! I wasn't aware we still had some grammatical issues. But, we'll go through the scripts again and see what we find.
I've considered making the MC a nameable character in the past. I might allow players to change their name in a future update.
Solid start to a game, the music is solid, the plot is interesting and has a lot of potential, the art is unique and makes it different from the other 3Dcg games in here and everything else is good. The only complain I have is the time it takes to change scenes, it takes like a solid second to change backgrounds and it un skippable the first time you see it, but other than that its a solid demo even if its like 10 minutes long.
Worth playing and I'm gonna wait and see how this turns out. Good luck dev.
