A downloadable visual novel for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Working with Ruslana is a short visual novel in which you, an aspiring adventurer, move to the city of Okenshire in order to join the popular Adventurer’s Guild. 
You get a little more than you bargained for however, as you find yourself working for Ruslana, the mysterious owner of The Rustic. 

This game is set in the world I created for my webcomic Grimm’s Adventurer’s Guild, but is focusing on a secondary character rather than the titular Grimm. 
Reading the webcomic prior to playing is not needed but if you want to/already have, it may give you more context into character interactions and locations featured in game.

Featuring:

  • ~ 6k words
  • Minor dialogue choices
  • Nameable and gender neutral main character
  • 4 endings
  • ~ 20 minutes of gameplay
  • 1920 x 1080

This is my first time ever making  a visual novel and serves as a sort of 'meet and greet' of my characters from my webcomic. I wanted to do something fun with the characters that I love while my comic is on an indefinite hiatus.
It's a short, simple game with limited choices but I hope that you will enjoy playing it as much as I did creating it!

The version currently uploaded is a 0.9 version as although it is a completed game, I would love to add little extras here and there in the future as I learn more about Ren'Py and coding!

Thank you so much for playing!! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
I really enjoyed listening to your added commentary on some of the design/art choices I made and the critiques of certain elements! I’ll definitely be keeping them in mind for any future projects 💖

I had so much fun playing this! I loved the character interactions, and the closeups made me burst out laughing (half nervously- they were an extra motivation not to cross Lana)! This is my first time interacting with this setting and these characters, and it definitely makes me want to check out more. Great job!!
