A Foretold Affair Demo

Leading a normal life may seem boring to those who live it, but others would give anything to have a quiet and uneventful life. On the other hand, life experiences define persons, which is why it’s difficult to admire someone who never had to struggle and never did anything impressive. Hence, it’s all about whether you want to leave something behind or not.

A Foretold Affair is an interactive visual novel in which you play the role of a being that belongs to a non-human race, one that is capable of controlling magic and seeing the future. The game emphasizes on choice and the ability to influence the story, which means that the full product should feature quite the wild ride, especially since you can replay the experience multiple times.

In essence, the game world is split into normals and abnormals, and you play the role of an abnormal. This abnormal likes to see the future, because that’s his special power. Unfortunately, using his power is not very encouraged by his society, which is why he decides to do it anyway and then run away. Hence, you get to witness the abnormal’s contact with the normal world.

Choices are very important, as mentioned before, but there’s aren’t a lot of them in the demo at hand. However, they seem to have a greater impact on the plot than in your regular visual novel, which is great. Moreover, you can decide on more important things than whether to say this or that, because it’s apparently possible to choose how the environment looks like and things like that.

Speaking of which, it’s important for a visual novel to look as smooth and interesting as possible, because there’s not a lot of action to distract you from it. Thankfully, everything appears to be in order here, and the anime/steampunk style of the artwork is actually quite engaging. The same goes for the soundtrack, which is not bad at all, albeit rather short at the moment.

Even if it doesn’t have enough content or exciting features to reveal too much, A Foretold Affair appears to be on the right track to success, at least if everything goes according to plan. Hence, visual novel lovers should be a hit with the crowds when it finally hits the market.
