Echoes of the Fey: The Fox's Trail Demo

Magic is an important part of fantasy stories, since most of the fictional universes created by people contain all kinds of powerful wizards and sorcerers. Naturally, all sorts of different races are now part of the overall fantasy genre, including elves, orcs and dwarves. However, people still imagine new characters and stories, so there’s definitely a lot of creativity left in the world.

Echoes of the Fey: The Fox's Trail is an interactive visual novel in which you play the role of a detective with special abilities. In short, your character is a human with magic powers who can transform into a cat at will. Thus, she must use this ability to solve cases and take advantage of her physical prowess to investigate places that others wouldn’t be able to without getting caught.

Unlike most visual novels out there, this one is highly interactive, which means that you get to actively move your character around to explore the game world and make a lot of choices that affect the overall story. Hence, there’s always something to click on, which is a lot more engaging than simple text scrolling on your screen.

The choices you make affect the plot and the outcome of the story, which is why it’s important to pay attention to everything you say. Sometimes it may not seem like you are deciding on anything important, but you are always steering the plot one way or another. There are some exploration scenes as well, which are pretty basic and impressive, but at least it feels more like an actual game.

Speaking of which, the graphics are nothing to write home about, given the fact that the artwork is more or less decent, but the overall atmosphere is unique. The game world is almost entirely original and intriguing, which is always good news. However, the characters can be rather dull and boring sometimes, although that’s not always the case.

When it’s all said and done, Echoes of the Fey: The Fox's Trail could use a few improvements when it comes to the graphics and character development, but the overall experience is enjoyable and intriguing. Thus, visual novel fans should be more than happy with the amount of content and the interactive scenes.
