Ballad of Pain DEMO

This is a demo of a long-term visual novel, Ballad of Pain. This demo was created for my college senior thesis hence the short run time!

  WARNING: This game has sensitive topics!

Ballad of Pain is a visual novel game that revolves around the protagonist, Grimm, a junior-year college student. Grimm has become extremely overwhelmed by the unfortunate circumstances of life. The pressure of a successful future and career, the hollow feeling of life slipping through her fingers, the everlasting feelings of loneliness - we all have our breaking points. 

Grimm has found herself in a purgatory- an almost dystopian version of the once rule-abiding universe she previously knew. Collapsed and crumbling buildings surrounded her while a blue-green, cloudy sky hovered above her. What was this metropolis-styled wasteland? A direct reflection of the rotted minds of all the victims in this purgatory. This world has no proper name other than Limbo.
