Arizona - November 11, 2016 - Fancy Fish Games is delighted to announce that their upcoming visual novel, </reality> has had a strong start on Kickstarter, and is also on Steam Greenlight.
In this interactive novel, Lilya Martel has the opportunity to test a revolutionary virtual reality console, made by tech developer Jacob Lessard, that feels more “real” than reality itself. But when everything Lilya and Jacob assume about reality is thrown into question, they must confront their own beliefs about the nature of existence.
</reality> is a character-focused exploration of some heavy metaphysical questions, inspired by films such as “The Matrix” and “Inception.” Players will make frequent choices which can change the story in both subtle and major ways - from simple dialogue choices - to affecting the character’s psychological state - to re-directing the course of the entire narrative and conclusion.
In our increasingly tech-saturated world, </reality> imagines a near future in which virtual reality has become the norm and the lines between reality and fantasy have blurred. The game is an open-minded look at how we think of our own reality and whether what we “know” to be real truly matters - or, is it only our perceptions of our realities which makes any difference in our lives?
“We hope that players will be excited to re-play the game and see all of the possibilities their choices can lead to - every ending shows a different answer to the big questions posed by the story.” says Fancy Fish developer Natalie Maletz, going on to say: “We also hope that players will come away from the game with theories and answers of their own - especially in terms of how these themes might relate to their real lives.”
