Описание

Tell a Demon — это визуальный роман, действие которого разворачивается в фэнтезийном мире 1920-х годов, сосредоточенном вокруг тем любви, потери и мести. Ваш выбор влияет на развитие характера каждого из трёх главных героев, приводя к шестнадцати различным концовкам. Многие концовки также варьируются в зависимости от ваших решений на протяжении всей истории — некоторые выборы влияют на личность персонажа и его точку зрения, в то время как другие изменяют сюжет. Истории трёх персонажей переплетаются, но насколько (и кто из них дойдет до конца) — зависит только от вас.


Tell a Demon располагает дополнительными функциями для удобства читателя, а именно возможностью сделать выборы на время, а также поменять внутриигровой шрифт на шрифт для дислексиков (Adys).

Юлий

Юлий умер полгода назад. Когда ты мёртв, о вещах, которые не давали тебе спать по ночам, теперь беспокоятся другие люди. То же самое относится и к теневому демону... особенно к демону, принадлежащему к проклятому роду бессмертной императрицы.


Но всё меняется, когда Юлий освобождается от Мысленной цепи, связывающей всех теневых демонов. Он узнает, что убивал людей, словно безмозглая кукла на ниточках, удерживаемый его бессмертной госпожой, тенью императрицы. Теперь у Юлия есть второй шанс вернуть себе жизнь (или, по крайней мере, разум), и ключ лежит в его воспоминаниях.

Калевель

Что-то происходит в слишком тихом, слишком пустом городе-государстве Ашере. Калевель намерена выяснить, что именно. И всё же когда старый товарищ по бессмертию предаёт её, она готова закрыть на это глаза, думая, что это очередная игра.

Но когда Калевель видит, что он не остановится ни перед чем, чтобы не дать ей вмешаться, девушка понимает, как много поставлено на карту, и как дорого ей обошлась её отстранённость - один из побочных эффектов бессмертия. Калевель должна приспособиться и измениться, как это делают смертные, иначе она проиграет.

Телл

Несколько лет назад умерла кузина Телл, тем самым омрачив жизнь всем членам её семьи. Теперь Телл переехала в город, чтобы жить со своей любимой тётей и строить жизнь вдали от родного дома и печальных воспоминаний.


Но этому не суждено случиться: однажды Телл посмотрит в глаза демону, и всё изменится.

Very good, the other reviews do a better job at explaining it all. And why it is so good, I just wanted to post a review so the game can get a higher score, and hopefully attract a bigger audience. Buy it!

Beautiful art style, well-written. Took me around 5 hours to get all achievements and endings. A little bit too obtuse at times, and there's some intriguing concepts it hinted at for only a line or two but didn't explore more. (Maybe these were intended as a 'teaser' for a potential future game?) Definitely agree that you should play the free browser game 'Asher' beforehand to get a helpful background on the setting and characters!

This is a pretty fun game. It's about three hours for one playthrough but I read a little fast. I unlocked some of the endings. Nice art, good writing, nice music, and an overall good game for the price.

Fantastic art, lovely soundtrack. The story is complex and the characters have personalities that can be manipulated to some degree by the player's choices. The fantasy world in which the story takes place is meticulously crafted and exquisite. The author really put thought into this and borrowed from the art and history many of my favorite time periods: art deco, Byzantine, 20s era Italy and America, and Greco-Roman come to mind.

In general, I dislike stories where nearly every major character has a despicable side. I didn't really *like* any of the characters. Also, for me, this game was so dark that it was monotone. And I say this as a fine appreciator of horror and dark genre, generally. I need some ups to appreciate the downs, if you know what I mean. The setting and backstory are complicated, and the player is thrown into it, so there is definitely a learning curve coming into the story. A summary of the setting would have helped for players who get frustrated by not knowing what is going on (for me, it took at least an hour because I started playing it when I was already tired... ah, well)

Still, I hope for a sequel to this one very much. It is definitely worth playing and a true gem.

I love this game. The art is beautiful, with all those little details that speak of great care.
The characters are very human and flawed, even if most of them are demons.
The whole world of Tell a Demon, and the first stand alone game Asher before it, is a deeply immersive experience and am absolutely looking forward to the next part.
The music is nice to listen to and fits the mood of the scens quite well.
I'm already invsted and wondering who will make it out unscathed.
The world of Asher is not always a nice one, but it is not simply grimdark.
There is a determination in its characters to continue and make the most of what they have and I find that soothing in a way.
I am no way through the whole game, but I have played Asher and I feel already at home in Tell a Demon.
I hope the next one carries on the magic, so to speak.

The art and story are great, but you may want to play the (free) previous game first to understand more of the plot and get to know a few of the side characters, and more about the world. The world building in this series is probably its strongest point tbh.

Also note that this game is relatively short, and it will have a sequel. Things are somewhat resolved in some endings... but the fact that there will be a sequel is quite clear, and it might be a while. Still, if you like the previous game, and this seems of interest to you, give it a shot ^^

Kind of confusing at first, throws a lot of info at you at once and it takes time to kind of know the world and the characters and actually know what you're deciding about; sometimes I felt lost and disconnected from the characters, however the game overall is very original, the art and soundtrack is beautiful and your choices really make difference (and it's difficult to predict what impact will they have). Give it a try, it's obvious a lot of work went into this game.

As you can see, the art is gorgeous, and the music is very nice with just enough variety

The first play through the world building is a little overwhelming, there is also a mechanic where you can check the viewpoint character's thoughts, or little tidbits to enhance the worldbuilding. Personally I think it could have been executed better, I wish there had been a popup or something when a new observation is available, otherwise you just have to keep pulling it up to see if anything's new.

There are enough varied and interesting endings that I would definitely recommend several play throughs. Although there were also endings that were a bit disappointing.

Overall I enjoyed the storyline and found most of the characters interesting, and some of the endings were really good and with good emotional payoffs

+ Lovely art work, story and music overall.

- 16 different endings felt iffy to me would have prefered less and longer routes.

Tell A Demon is such a great VN that I wish more people knew about! It introduces a genuinely original story and world, and even though it can be a bit rough to find your bearings in it, it's definitely worth it.

The artstyle is great, fits the tone of the story perfectly, and really serves the writing well - not that it really needs it. So many scenes are just... really, actually well-written, and don't need the help of the art of the music (both of which are still very good) to leave a strong impression.

The biggest barrier to enjoying the game, I think, is that it's a lot to take in, and the story can go in many different directions without giving you a good overview of what's going on overall. You definitely need a few playthroughs to get to the end without murdering half the cast in the process and ending up as confused as you were at the beginning (like I did). When you start to get a better grasp of the backstories of the character is when the VN gets really exciting - and all the different endings are just fun to experiment with.

Overall I really wish more people got into this VN - it deserves it.

I could write a very long explanation on why exactly I absolutely adore this vn, but I'll keep it short. This visual novel is a very fine work of fiction and deserve more attention. The art is astonishing and characters are very well written. Also I keep thinking from time to time about lore and story of this vn and how good it's crafted. Definately check other works of S. A. Welland such as Asher (first in Asher trilogy) and Sunrise.

Tell a Demon is the second part of the Asher series, which is set to be a trilogy of visual novels taking place in the eponymous fictional city. While playing the first game, Asher (which can be downloaded for free on the developer's blog), is not mandatory to play this stand-alone game, it can help get a stronger grip on the lore and the motivation of a couple characters, and I would recommend playing it beforehand of after your first ending. Now, onto Tell a Demon. It is undoubtedly one of the strongest visual novels I’ve played yet, both in terms of visuals and story. The art is totally unique, more reminiscent of paintings you would see in the 16th century section of a museum than classic VN art. I can’t express how much I love the attention that went into little details in the sprites: sometimes the only observable alteration comes from a raised eyebrow or a bitten lip, and yet the change in expression is striking while conveying a subtle shift in emotion. The CGs are also phenomenal, but seeing as the video in this page gives a pretty good sample on what you can expect art-wise when playing Tell a Demon, I won’t expand on the subject.

I found the story to be extremely engaging, if maybe a little hard to get into on the first playthrough. There are a lot of characters that are only alluded to, dates and places that can easily get confused with each other and deities with several names each. However if you are willing to pay attention, this quickly becomes fascinating: the world-building is strong and coherent, taking some inspiration from classic horror stories (vampires and such) and yet revamping it into something truly unique: the Asher series revolve around the legend of an immortal-yet-dead Empress whose hubris created a cursed line of demons who continue to plague her country more than a century after her disappearance. In the present day, the player embodies three characters: a human girl - who sports a fabulous Louise Brooks bobbed haircut (did I mention the fashion is also great in this game) - aspiring to find a job far from her farming roots, as well as two vastly different, charismatic demons who must paradoxically learn how to change to stay true to themselves. The game enables you to influence both the outcome of their adventure - 16 endings, with a pretty satisfying balance kept between ‘’happy’’ and ‘’unhappy’’ ones - and their personality: this leads to a lot of variations and subtle changes in dialogue, which I’m not sure I’ve yet seen all of even after nearly 20 hours of playing. There is also a healthy dose of compelling romance - both m/f and f/f -: just enough to be satisfied without getting overwhelmed.

In short, Tell a Demon is a very intriguing, beautifully-crafted, expertly-written game, and I can only recommend all visual novels lovers and people who love artistic games to give it a go. I want to point out that it is not a horror game, so the most sensitive souls can stay reassured (there is some blood and creepy empty eyes though, you have been warned). Actually, Tell a Demon succeeds in being as engrossing as a quality novel and aesthetically pleasing as a painting, and I can only hope that this will also be carried on within the third and final game in the series, The Empress of Aeser, which I’m already waiting for with eagerness.
