[Stolen Destiny Demo

Stealing precious jewels or famous artwork is definitely not an easy task to pull off, but it’s probably easier than it is to move the loot in the aftermath. You must find a buyer willing to take the risk, as well as make do with a much lower price, given the fact that you cannot exactly hold on to your score until something better comes along. Hence, most movies forget to take this into account.

[Stolen Destiny is an interactive visual novel in which you play the role of a girl by the name of Clara, although you are free to change her name if you wish do so. The game allows you to make choices along the way and steer the plot in one direction or another, depending on your preferences. On the other hand, this is still a demo at this point, so don’t expect too much complexity in this regard.

It all starts with Clara getting a job at her favorite museum, where some of the most illustrious exhibits are kept. Naturally, things go wrong when a suspicious group of people decide to break into the museum and steal a particular artifact. Not only that, but Clara is taken as well for some reason, so the story gets a lot more engaging after the relatively short introduction.

Your character has the ability to make certain dialog choices along the way, but there is only one route you can follow in the demo at hand. Thankfully, the decisions you make affect the ending, so you can reach one of three possible outcomes. You can also find out more about the ones who organized the heist, which should make you ache for the full version in order to get some closure.

Lastly, the graphics are always important in a visual novel, because there’s not much else to keep you distracted most of the time. The character design s definitely pleasant, but some of the artwork is actually just pictures with a few filters added on top, which kind of ruins the atmosphere. Again, this is merely a demo at this point, so the full version is bound to have much better artwork.

In the end, [Stolen Destiny has what it takes to keep you mildly interested along the way, but it also comes with a few flaws in the visual department. Hence, we can hope that the full version is going to iron out these imperfections.
