Desperation, Reincarnation (DEMO)
A downloadable kinetic novel for Windows and macOS
This is a tech demo of the full game! Only the first 3 chapters are available, and content is subject to change in the full release.
A murder paves way to a reincarnation, a reincarnation paves way to an uncontrollable bloodlust.
Even for Inhuman standards, Jesse is odd. They can't be classified as any one Inhuman type, and their memories of their past life - their reason for reincarnation - are foggy. With nothing but a gut feeling and echoes of a past, Jesse and their two Inhuman friends try to go about their days and find more of Jesse's past life... more importantly, the person who caused this burning hatred inside them.

Please forgive me, for the sins I have tried to forget.
Keronin didn't have much time to think about it. In his desperation to get away from the ghosts of his life, he packed up and moved to Paradise. In a place where Inhumans are accepted, he hopes dearly to have a fresh start in a life where he doesn't have to hide himself. But some mistakes can't be escaped.
Main Cast
Jesse
- Unknown Inhuman type
- Constantly angry at the world
- 5'7"
- They/them
The newest Inhuman in Paradise. After being violently murdered and reincarnated with no memories of their past, Jesse is trying to find any trace of who they once were - and, by extension, the person who killed them. There seems to be a deep resentment within them these days.
Keronin ('Maxwell Cohen')
- Cubus Inhuman
- An anxious wreck
- 5'11"
- He/him
A strange man that recently moved to Paradise a few weeks ago. Casual friends with Torlan, though nothing too friendly. He's always a bit jittery and on edge, and Jesse would like to learn more about him.
Torlan ('Adrian Meyer')
- Lamia Inhuman
- Overspends a lot
- 5'10"
- He/him
One of Jesse's two roommates. Torlan considers himself a hot commodity, just for being a male lamia in Paradise. Despite being able to make IDs for Inhumans, he just can't seem to stop spending all his money. He greatly loves his girlfriend, Ayuta.
Coleth ('Miles Hoffman')
- Cubus Inhuman
- Tired of everyone's nonsense
- 6'3"
- He/him
One of Jesse's two roommates. Coleth is an incubus with a crippling addiction to coffee - in his defense, though, with how ridiculous Jesse and Torlan are, it's no wonder he needs it. Works at the border between harpy and jiuweihu territory. He thinks he's the sane one, but he's just as unhinged as his roommates.
