Selenon Rising

Selenon Rising is an episodic sci-fi noir mystery adventure and visual novel. In Episode 1, you follow Violet, a new agent in SPECTRA, the Bureau of Human Protection’s elite investigation force. The Selenon, mysterious and powerful beings, have taken control of Earth from the Moon’s dark side. Humanity is forbidden from advancing technologically under threat of annihilation, and the Bureau oversees what remains of the human race.

Violet can discern the exact emotions of suspects, a rare psychic power granted by the Selenon. Partnered with Agent Blue, she investigates a murder that draws her toward the New Moon Resistance, a group of freedom fighters seeking to stop the Selenon at any cost. As the case reveals secrets that may determine humanity’s fate, Violet must use her abilities to find the truth and confront how well she understands herself.
