the Death of the Video Star
A downloadable visual novel for Windows and macOS
Worthy Undone wakes up in the apartment of a woman who reincarnates people for a living, and has to deal with the world she created. Killing God is as easy as a baseball bat to the head and a lifetime of guilt afterwards; it's even easier when She stays dead afterwards, but Worthy isn't quite that lucky.
The Death of the Video Star is a visual novel about dealing with the aftermath of killing God, and maybe having to kill Her again. It is currently in development with a to-be-determined release date. A demo of the first act of the game is currently available. If you would like to support the game, you can donate here and follow the game page for updates!

Hey could you upload the soundtrack as a separate download file? I absolutely love it, its fantastic. Especially the menu music!
all of the music in the game is actually royalty free! i got it from this site: https://www.silvermansound.com/free-music/
the music in the menu is called dark flashes
Hey love the artwork, you capture the tone of the song perfectly within it. Will you be ever planning to release the game fully and if so do you have any projected dates on when that could happen?
thank you, i'm really glad you liked it! the game is currently in production. i'm a solo dev with a day job, so progress is slow, but i'm HOPING to release the full game sometime next year. if you want to keep up with the production, i'm releasing monthly devlogs to update on my progress!
i loved this! the worldbuilding and characters are just YES. really keen to see more!
I saw a post about this game get reblogged onto my dashboard on tumblr and it immediately intrigued me (and my best friend, who i gushed about the concept to). I played it streaming over discord with the best friend in question and we had a FANTASTIC time because of how amazing this demo is already. I'm so excited for what comes next. All of the characters are fascinating (both their designs and their personalities), the set up and use of the engine is SO well-suited to the writing style, and i'm on pins and needles to see more of the worldbuilding you've set up. Literally such a cool game, can't wait for the full thing!
