For Ever Melancholia

For Ever Melancholia is a kinetic visual novel about movies, archaeology and psychology. You play as a young student attending summer training far from the City, where you hope to write a thesis on an extinct nation. On campus, you meet girls who share your interest in auteur cinema, while digging into the past may uncover treasures, bones or a curse.

Story and presentation

The story is linear and can be watched like a movie, though you still have to read the text. It includes video cutscenes and music featuring jazz and classical pieces, alongside its focus on auteur cinema. The story also features old friends and young friends.
