The Reverie: Querencia

"The Reverie: Querencia" is a Psychological Horror visual novel containing all original works of fiction, submitted for the Zack Jam 2024 by Catsket.

This is a demo version that is still in development and was made on my own. Please be patient for the next update(s).

PLOT:

You don't remember who you are, instead of finding your old name... You name yourself  "Lamb".

You have been recovering from your mental illness over again for a while, but luckily, this time it was faster than expected, thanks to the help and care from the person you care about and love the most, Zavier. Even if you're not good at recalling bits of memory or dream memories, at least you still remember a few things about yourself, including him and move on... maybe.

To thank him, you secretly plan a gift and a trip just the two of you, record it in a diary and use that diary as a lifesaver when you have memory problems.

But lately, Zavier has been acting strangely and has a suspicion that he is hiding something from you, and sometimes you have erratic hallucinations when he is not around you.
