Strike the Light
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Delve into a grim world, struck by constant rain and fog. Massive floodings laid waste to whole cities and drove mankind to adapt by using and relying on boats for traversal. Additionally a never-ending cover of thick clouds prevents almost all sunlight to grace the surface of the planet, resulting in darkly lit days, the blackest of nights and viciously freezing temperatures.
In this interactive Fiction,
experience two of the remaining people tackling the odds
in an unforgiving situation,
where your decisions are crucial for their survival.
New Update v0.15 is out now, adressing Visuals, UI, Dialogue and more!
See the full changelog here.
This Visual Novel was initially made in a 1-Week GameJam at the Uni "HAW Hamburg" and is my first in many regards, including developing a Visual Novel, using Ren'Py, creating a Plot with Characters, Story, Dialogue and Decisions and creating a completable Game in general.

I liked your game and it was pretty good, but I find myself wanting a little more content. I hope to see more games from you in the future!
Cheers for your kind words!
I do plan to make more, hopefully soon ;)
I've only now gotten to play this game, but I'm glad I finally did! Your artwork and excellent choice of sound design created a beautiful atmosphere and I felt very immersed in the characters the whole time - good job! I really enjoyed it :)
Ahhhh thank you so much, means lots! ^_^
Beautiful art, and music. Thank you.
Love to hear it, cheers!
And all credits to the music artists ^^
Had fun playing it. Loved the art style.
So happy to hear, thanks! ^_^

Cheers, glad you like it! :D
Ich hatte gleich eine Verbindung zu den beiden und Angst sie in Gefahr zu bringen. Die Texte sind sehr schön geschrieben und unterstreichen die Atmosphäre der Bilder. Hätte auf jeden Fall Lust weiter zu spielen :)
Danke! Das ist sehr schön zu hören ^_^
Dann wird definitv noch mehr kommen.
richtig cool gworden, tolle bilder – find das schwarz weiß passt echt gut! kann ma a längere story in der welt auch voll gut vorstellen :)
Ey danke dir, freut mich sehr!
Hab da auch noch einige Ideen ;)
This was nice, short and clean. I'm happy I got a good ending. Nice work. 10/10
That's so great to hear, and watch, thanks so much! ^^
You're welcome :)
I really liked the concept of the story, the artwork was very good, but there is a problem in your code. I did not search the boat but asked Fenya if she found anything, got the good cartridge and loaded the gun. If I unload the gun, I am given the option to load the damaged cartridge(but I never searched the boat to get it). Also, disabling the load and save function was a bit of an annoyance till I fixed it.
Thanks so much for the heads up and the kind words!
Will look into it ;D
