About This Game

Welcome

Hello! I'm Odd Ember, a solo developer and artist working on my own projects. Summona Realm is my very first project, and there’s still a lot of work ahead. But more than anything, I hope to bring an engaging story that everyone will enjoy. 

This story is divided into several parts, beginning with the first chapter, "The Secret Flame".

Overview

Summona Realm: The Secret Flame is a striking black-and-white visual novel where you explore atmospheric locations and make pivotal choices to reveal a hidden truth.

Prologue...

This is the story of a peculiar man with a mysterious past, on the way to redeem his sins.

Though the tale unfolds with humor and cheerful moments, beneath it lies a deep sorrow, unanswered questions about what human is.

Yet, this is a journey of hope. A journey of self-discovery. It doesn’t promise all the answers but even through pain and despair, the light of hope shines brighter than anything else. 

Features

✦ Role-Playing

Step into the vast world of Summona Realm through the eyes of Geroy, a mysterious protagonist with a hidden past. Explore and uncover its secrets through your journey.

Indirect First-Person Narrative

Experience the world of Summona Realm strictly through Geroy’s eyes. The narrative intentionally provides an incomplete picture; players must actively gather and piece together scattered information—from character dialogues to in-game notes—to understand the full scope of the world’s mysteries. The order of your exploration directly impacts the information you receive, ensuring a unique and thought-provoking journey for every player.

✦ A Fresh Experience

A Distinctive Visual Style
Designed to evoke the feeling of reading a manga, the game utilizes a striking black-and-white visual style that immediately differentiates it from standard visual novels.

Unique Interaction System
The experience is centered around a unique interaction system, allowing players to navigate the story dynamically by selecting locations on a map.

Meaningful Choices
Your choices matter: revisit locations to uncover new details, or risk skipping entire branching storylines by missing certain points. Even the sequence in which you select.

✦ Duration

The game is divided into 20 small chapters, with an estimated playtime of 10 to 12 hours.

Thanks to its interaction system, each playthrough can offer new discoveries, encouraging players to return and uncover paths they may have missed.

Caution

To avoid issues with the save files, please exit the game using the "Quit" button.
