Unduh Amadeus: A Riddle for Thee ~ Episode 1 ~ Waltz Demo

Tentang Game Ini

"I offer a guarantee—an absolute guarantee—that the tomes will contain the truth on the curse that afflicts you."

Such is the Witch's promise. Is it worth the price she demands?

Can Amadeus discover the truth within the first tome's pages before the moon Aska rises this very night?

About

Play as Amadeus, a young werewolf struggling to understand his condition, as he navigates a tale woven by Witches. He is equal parts desperate and determined; determined to reclaim agency over his own self, while afflicted by a curse that steals it from him every time the greater moon draws full.

Amadeus: A Riddle for Thee is a narrative game heavily inspired by Umineko When They Cry thematically, and Professor Layton aesthetically.
