Requiescence

Requiescence is a 2D visual novel in which your choices shape the story. You play as Kymil, a young mage who has spent a year travelling to reach his destination. A Cyromancer who uses ice magic against his enemies, he learned to wield his power from his uncle, a well-known adventurer who hunted for treasure across the continent.

After an unknown assailant murders his uncle at home, Kymil sets out to discover who was responsible. His only clue is an unfinished entry in his uncle’s notes about a mysterious cathedral in the sprawling Dead Plains. Kymil arrives without knowing what he is looking for or where to go, but presses on to uncover the cathedral’s secrets, whatever the cost.

Choices and relationships

The story combines action and adventure with three romance routes that significantly change its later sections. It is a boys’ love story: both Kymil and his love interests are male. The game has six endings in total.
