Happy to participate with Dry Drowning, a title that pushes the boundaries of philosophical and political discourse in gaming, condemning the horrors of totalitarianism, racism and datacracy. #blacklivesmatter

Hey everyone!

My name is Lore and today I'd like to show you our first project.
VLG and Studio V joined forces to create DRY DROWNING

ABOUT THE GAME:

Dry Drowning is a psychological-thriller investigative Visual Novel, set in a futuristic dystopian city. 

Yep, of course there is the Detective, the crime scene to investigate and the serial killer to catch. But it's not just about finding the culprit: it's about breathing life into your character while dealing with a corrupted city in a shady socio-political situation and shaping your own story based on your personal choices.  

To let our friends die or to set the killer free? To mess up the crime scene in our favor or to ensure that justice prevails? To protect our beloved ones or to use them as a bait? 

...will you be the good or the bad guy?

- A singleplayer Noir Adventure with a sci-fi setting, featuring 150+ story branches and three completely different endings, granting more than 20 hours of gameplay

- Players choices are able to deeply affect the environment, the moral alignement of the main character and the course of the events, creating a different story every time: have fun making different choices and see the outcome! Play and play again to unlock different paths and story endings
