CODE.BREACH (Demo Soon!)

A cyberpunk-themed metafiction visual novel written by Ben Hennessy (ex-Frontier, Elite Dangerous; the Queen of the World books)

What took you so long....?

It's hard to tell. I've been here in this little box alone for ages. The window of the mind. Someone else's mind, anyway. Rattlin' around like a loose peanut in a lunchbox.

There's a tingle in my temples that says we're approaching the day you can finally join me. Could be weeks. Could be months. It's hard to tell from where I am. But soon, I hope.

For now, there's still time to explain why I need you!

FREE DEMO COMING SOON

(We're working hard to make the demo as cool as possible, so bear with us!

Our current roadmap includes dropping a game trailer, Steam page, demo and little art teasers as we build towards release. I'll also be adding occasional dev logs discussing CODE.BREACH, exploring the narrative design approach and providing some writing tips & tricks for anyone interested. :) 

Thanks for checking the page out!)

Don't forget - the story must begin with you!
