Short description
Let us begin the persuasion. Alas, mankind may forever live in absence of the truth. Verily, the resonant threads that extend across the many worlds spawn countless interpretations. Can insight be gleaned from the coalescing dimensions? It may yet all be for nothing. The meaning is up to you.
About this game
Part-RPG, part-card game, part-Attorney-like Visual Novel, Reality Layer Zero places you at the center of a bizarre murder mystery where the only way to uncover the truth is to convince your adversaries to tell it to you-- by debating! Wield Logos, Ethos, and Pathos in tandem with your strongest Ideals to unravel a city-spanning conspiracy tinged with occultism, paranoia, and secrets you were never meant to know. *** Your grandfather has been accused of murder .

Each argument has an associated cost represented by its premises , or the amount of points from each of the three rhetorical modes required to resonate (score) the argument. On resonance, the argument's weight will be applied to your resonance meter . Fill this meter to deplete your opponent's willpower and, ultimately, defeat them. A simple goal; yet not-so-easily met. Your opponent can manipulate the premises you control-- and, likewise, you theirs-- with rhetoric . Rhetoric has its own associated cost, and applies effects ranging from depleting premises directly (via critique ), applying stat…
