Faded Ink - Truth In Between The Lines

Project

The project “Faded Ink – Truth In Between The Lines” is a visual novel that combines an emotional story with a carefully developed visual identity. Original character illustrations, atmospheric backgrounds and a specially designed user interface create an experience focused on grief, memory and human relationships.

Through a series of meaningful choices, players shape a story that unfolds across two different narrative paths with multiple endings. Each element of the narrative and visual design is intended to reinforce the emotional impact of the game and the journey it presents.
