About This Game

Synopsis:


Isabella: Chasing Shadows is an adult visual novel story crafted as an erotic thriller, where your choices will matter, as you find yourself deeply entrenched in trying to uncover those responsible for the murder of your fiancée.

Story:


Life with your fiancée, who was a dedicated reporter, comes to a bitter end when a tragic hit-and-run claims her life.

Despite the police closing the case as a mere accident, you are haunted by the lingering suspicion of murder that they've failed to investigate.

Determined to unveil the truth, you’ll embark on a relentless pursuit for justice, using your skills and enlisting the help of both old and new allies in your quest.

As you delve ever deeper into the city’s dark underbelly, you’ll encounter a captivating supermodel; you’ll rely on an old friend wielding incredible resources and on a network of shadowy figures.

Will you be able to uncover the dark secrets of the city you once loved? And the most important question is: Will you seek justice for your lost love… or… will you succumb to the allure of revenge?

Gameplay


This is a game where your choices matter!

Every decision you make will affect how the game proceeds and how people will behave towards you.

And, in the end, those choices will determine if you choose the path of JUSTICE or one of REVENGE.

These choices also include the relationships you’ll have, such as: Alex, your naughty ‘Friend with benefits’, or maybe you’ll choose a solo path with Isabella, a ‘world class model’ who needs your help… or, perhaps you’ll have a relationship with both… the choice is yours in this story driven game where your choices really do matter.

Main Characters


The MC (you) – The Problem Solver & Answer Seeker
Surviving from a rough childhood and getting training in the military, you’ve made for yourself quite a fortune with software development. Things were perfect for you… an exciting career, money and a fiancée that you loved and were going to marry.

You lost yourself the day she died, you shrugged of the care and concern that your loved ones sent your way; but one person was able to pull you from the prison of solitude you’d locked yourself behind, Alex…

Alexandria “Alex” – A Sassy but Cute Troublemaker

Not everything is as it seems with the woman who’s stood beside you and nursed you back into the world after the death of your fiancée… She carries with her a troubling and checkered past that you’ll begin to uncover. Will you continue to stand beside and count on her as you learn more about her, or will your focus travel elsewhere?

Isabella “Isa” – Supermodel of the Year

Confident and beautiful, but also in trouble! Not happy with her current management, Isa seeks to break ties and start anew, but those who hold her contract aren’t willing to release her and will stop at nothing to make sure she doesn’t leave. Will you be able to help her from the mess that she's entangled in, or will you leave her fend for herself against shady men and stalkers?

Side Characters:


Valerie “Val” – News Reporter

Your fiancée’s old co-worker, who has an interest in helping to uncover the truth if it is to be found and has an interest in you as well.

William “Wil” – Ex-Military & Ex-Cop

There is more than meets the eye with Wil, particularly when it comes to the things he knows. Just who is this man and just what kind of connections does he have?

Trisha “Trish” – Detective

Niece of ‘Wil’ and a possible connection to getting the answers you need from a corrupt police department.

Annoushka – Ex-Fashion Model

Fearing for her life, what connection can this young woman have to everything that has happened?

Nicolai – The Devil We Know

Sometimes to kill a snake it takes a BIGGER snake… and, at least, you know where you stand with this one. But… at what cost?

Matteo – Isa’s Uncle

Responsible for getting Isabella into modelling, but what is in it for him… why do you get a bad vibe with this guy?

The Coopers – Senior & Junior

The Main Antagonists and it feels like they own the entire city… just how far does their reach extend? For what purpose? And does it have anything to do with the death of your fiancée?
