Amarantus

Revolution is messy. Relationships are worse. Arik Tereison's made peace with his lot in life: twenty-two and stuck in his parents' house, awaiting his inevitable conscription into a decades-long war. But after an unexplained attack sends him fleeing home in the middle of the night—told only to hide and wait—he decides he's done with waiting. It's time to change. Develop Arik's motivations and personality through your choices: soft and gentle lad with a heart of gold, or angry and aggressive timebomb? Manage the party's morale or risk characters walking out. Befriend, bonk, betray, woo or wingman your party members. This visual novel eight years in the making invites players to make terrible decisions, try to fix them (and with luck fail forward), all while exploring a spectrum of relationships–platonic, romantic, antagonistic and more.
