About the Game

DEVIL'S LIMINAL is a branching slow-burn horror and yuri romance visual novel inspired by Azores folklore and Goethe's Faust.

Margo Silva has done everything she can to leave behind the trailer park in Arizona where she grew up. Now all she has to do is focus on her job until she can leave for college. Her illusion of a quiet summer is shattered when a hungry ghost enters her dreams, and two mysterious girls show up in town, each claiming they can help her. Margo must contend with a demon's claim on her soul, and how to stop ghosts from this life and the past that want to take her future.

• Determine your Fate: With 200+ choices, build your relationships, uncover secrets, and decide the end of your summer. Replayable with multiple routes, relationships, and outcomes.

• Slow-Burn Horror: Over the course of 200,000+ words and 15+ hours of gameplay, you must balance work, friendships, and maintain a normal facade in a life held back by poverty and domestic violence. In your quest for escapism, what will you do when you discover supernatural forces that intend to take away what little you have?

• Find Love: 2 possible sapphic romance routes, and 1 secret route. Bec and Clara seem to know more than they let on, but offer you solace and guidance. Between dates, late night talks, and bloody alchemical rituals, find the love and romance you've always wanted. Or, will you abandon your humanity for something more?

• Original Artwork, Music, and Voice Acting: 40+ unlockable CG gallery images planned. The handmade retro-inspired 2-bit dithered artwork is accompanied with an original soundtrack inspired by 90s and 2000s alternative. Partial voice acting brings out intimacy and horror.

• Literary and Cultural Inspiration: A story that sits at the intersection of Faustian legend and Portuguese folklore from the Azores. Learn about your family's heritage, and discover the occult events of 500 years ago that set everything into motion. Confronted with death, consider your own values and what lies between living and dying.

• Experience Summer: Gameplay is broken up into daily events between June 7th and September 1st. Spend the summer before college in your rural Arizona hometown. You must save yourself before September.
