About Rituals in the Dark
Rituals in the Dark is a visual novel about Aspen Draper, a young woman who becomes entangled with a mysterious girl after returning to the home of her deceased neighbour. Its kinetic storyline has no choices or branches and contains about 50,000 words, taking around 3–4 hours to read.
Aspen and Mrs Leigh
Six months before the story begins, Mrs Leigh, Aspen’s elderly neighbour, dies of a heart attack. Aspen was the last person to see her alive and the first to find her body. In their dreary seaside town of Scarborough, Aspen becomes a local celebrity, facing daily questions about Mrs Leigh’s death and unrelenting curiosity from her friends. Despite trying to move on, she remains caught up in what happened.
As winter gives way to summer, Mrs Leigh’s house remains unsold and is eventually boarded up. Rumours spread that her restless ghost haunts it. During a sleepover with her friends Pippa and Lakhi, Pippa dares Aspen to break into the house and search for the ghost. Anxious and unable to refuse, Aspen returns there under cover of night.
A strange encounter
Instead of a ghost, Aspen meets Althea, a strange girl who seems to know more about Aspen than a stranger should. Aspen is enchanted by her beauty and sets out to discover who—or what—Althea really is. The story includes a sweet lesbian romance suitable for all ages and has a haunting, eerie atmosphere.
Presentation and music
The visual novel features detailed backgrounds and CGs, displays at 1080p, and has an original soundtrack inspired by The Cure.
