There are seven magics, five more than have ever been explored, and that is only the tip of the iceberg. The kobolds, once a beast of myth, have forged an alliance with Celeste. A mad demigod rages across the land, aiming to end the tyranny of monarchies with Celeste in his sights. Meanwhile, a magical talking sword is busy preparing the misfit mages of the Ryuusian Royal Cabal for a clash against an arcane foe from distant lands of fable. 

You know, normal things.

One thing is certain, no threat the cabal faces compares to their greatest challenge: relationships, love, and family troubles.

Pale Spectrum is the sequel to Brilliant Shadows, and both are adventures from the Book of Gray Magic. Follow along with Necromancers, Paladins, Witches, and Changelings in this story of intrigue, mystery and magic.

Pale Spectrum

Pale Spectrum is around 6-13 hours of play time depending on read speed and route choice. The game has a number of large branches and a plethora of smaller ones, enhancing its replay potential. It sits at just over 200k words.

Voice Acting

All spoken lines in the game are voiced, bringing an extra level of life to our cast of 30+ characters.

Choices

There are over 50 choices that you can make in the game, all of which influence the 10+ unique endings.

Music

Pale Spectrum features an extensive, combined sound track from the Book of Gray Magic series. Pale Spectrum boasts 27 original tracks, and, combined with Brilliant Shadows 21 original tracks, has an hour of beautiful orchestral music composed by Johnathan Johnson.

The Main Cast

A free voice acted visual novel containing three short, playful and spooky stories.

The first thing you need to know is that ghosts are real.

The rest, you can only learn on your own. Follow three stories set in a world where the dead linger and things far worse wait beyond the veil. ----------------- The Phantom Ice Cream Truck 

Follow a denizen of the border between life and death as he answers the call to rescue a missing child. ----------------- Perceptions of the Dead 

Tyrone has made it his business to help solve the troubles of those afflicted by the undead, but what seems like a case of a benign haunting may find him risking more than his life, but his very soul. ----------------- Jill Count 

 Jill has had moderate success as a streamer, and to mix things up, this Halloween she is going to life-stream a visit to a haunted hospital. The twist? It's actually haunted.

Hello folks!

This month's update about progress is looking good. We've been getting in a swath of lines from our lovely voice actors, and have completely finished receiving lines for two more main characters.

I got hit with a new wave of inspiration after experimenting with an art style to do some mini-cg type work for the game. This let me add a lot of movement and personality to some scenes that had previously been missing them.

On top of liking how the little strips turned out, I found the inspiration to get rid of the place holder images on the main menu.

We're focusing heavily on narrative coding and voice editing, and making good headway with Pale Spectrum.

Keep up and at 'em!
