About
Shards of the Past is an adult visual novel game currently in development using the Ren’Py game engine. The game is focused on the rich storytelling of mature themes using interactive and choice driven dialogue, thematic background music and sound effects as well as custom created environments and images using 3D characters.




Gameplay
The story in Shards of the Past unfolds via text and character dialogue over 3D rendered background images. As you read through the story you will be prompted to make decisions that will determine how your character will act and respond to the current situation. These choices will change the current dialogue as well as have an impact on the story as it progresses. Many choices will branch off from the main storyline as well as possibly lock you out of some content as you move the story in a different direction. Some situations in the game are a result of a random encounter generator so each playthrough can differ from others even when the same choices are made. The results of your choices will also impact how your game ends.




Characters and Relationships
While embarking on your journey within Shards of the Past, your character will encounter various individuals. Some may become friends, others potential foes, and some you might not know until much later where their loyalties are. Your in-game decisions will enable you to forge intense rivalries or enduring friendships, with the possibility of some evolving into romantic relationships.
