Divide Demo

Most mythical stories from all over the world are based on the classic good versus evil concept, in which two forces collide in a fight that almost always results with the forces of good coming out victorious. Naturally, the struggle is fierce all through the battle, which is why people can come up with so many variants along the way, even if the end is always the same.

Divide is an interactive visual novel that presents you with a world where demons and angels are engaged in a vicious war that has been going for centuries. The story is interactive, unlike in most visual novels, which means that you can make choices and alter the course of the plot. On top of that, you can also influence characters and watch them evolve over the course of the story.

Speaking of which, you play as a demon by the name of Alexandria, who happens to be the daughter of the most important demon. She is aching for war, which is why she is among the first on the battlefield once the shaky peace agreement falls through. However, she meets an interesting person out there, a person that happens to be an angel.

As mentioned before, your actions affect the course of the story, which means that there are multiple endings you can reach, depending on what you decide to do along the way. You can also get close to certain characters and have romantic relationships, which adds even more variety to the whole thing. On the other hand, don’t expect anything too complex in this regard either.

The artwork is pretty basic, especially when it comes to character design. Most of the backgrounds are very simple as well, except for a handful that seem to be more detailed. It’s a bummer to see disproportionate faces and basic color tones, but then again you can focus on the story and not pay too much attention to the visual aspect.

All things considered, Divide can easily keep you busy for a few hours, especially if you enjoy fantasy stories. Granted, it’s a bit rough in the artwork department, but such inconveniences are pretty simple to deal with.
