Black & White Lite

Black & White Lite is a visual novel version of Black & White, with the battle chess sections removed and the story reordered. It follows the memories of twelve main characters as you observe them and continue communicating with a mysterious girl. The game contains more than 250,000 words of text and presents a dystopian world through a story built around the idea that the opposite of justice is another kind of justice.

Two opposing camps

You can trust the White Church, which represents order, fairness and reason, or identify with the Black Cinder Crow, which represents freedom, culture and sensibility. The White Church includes white-haired priests possessed by insects, each with a different personality. The Black Cinder Crow includes historical figures who have returned from the dead and met tragic ends.

Characters and story branches

The game features nearly 100 characters and more than 400 CGs and story maps. Each of the twelve main characters has a branch plot, presented with many story maps in a comic-like style.

Art and audio

The UI and characters use a visual style built around contradictory ideas. Character portraits and CGs are accompanied by animated versions of some artwork. The soundtrack is composed primarily by Lin Fangzhou, Harper and Xu Luyang, with sound effects created by dedicated sound engineers. Mori Zhongren directs the voice cast, which includes Hanser, Tao Dian and performers from Yuesheng Dubbing Club.
