Steam Store description

If you are tired of the normal everyday renpy games with virtually the same stories and cliches- then I invite you to try something fresh, unique, and darker. Like all Anaxverse games, this one revolves around corruption and character development! Desideratum is essentially a Visual Novel and Video Game. Switching perspectives between the nosferatu, Brone Lorcan, and the monster hunter, Absinthe Van Gothen, a rich story unfolds before you. It allows a choice between a Story Mode (avoiding all turn-based combat and resource management) for casual play, or a Game Mode for those that want to play the Monster Hunts as Absinthe and collect items, artifacts, and defeat creatures from mythology, folklore, and legend. Desideratum is canonical and chronologically 5th in the Anaxverse series. However, it is completely stand alone as well, and can be enjoyed just as much even without previous other tales. You have a choice, like in all Anaxverse games. Do you want to relax, kick back, and simply enjoy the compelling and interesting story, avoiding things like stats, items, currencies, and battles? Then, choose Story Mode! However, if you want to juggle resources, buy potions and weapons, and explore cryptid-infested places around Portland, Oregon - you can choose Game Mode (begins at chapter 5) and test your skills! Like the Anaxverse tales of the last ten years, Desideratum is no different when it comes to the rich and abundant lore. As you play or read through the project, you unlock knowledge about almost every single or creature you encounter. ​Perfect fun for completionists. I…
