Cinders is finally out, after more than a year of development! It's been a wild ride but we hope it was worth the wait. You can now purchase the game and there's also a free demo available, if you would like to try it out first. Have fun, people. And thanks!
Cinders is an atmospheric visual novel, illustrated by Gracjana Zielinska.
It’s a story of four women and what made them who they are, inspired by the classic fairytale of Cinderella. A story about balancing freedom and dreams with circumstance and harsh reality; about growing up and finding out the true meaning of independence. Distancing itself from the judgmental simplicity of the original, Cinders tries to explore the more complex nature of oppression, responsibility and innocence.
The game focuses on characters and their motivations, and is heavy on player choices and role-playing. With 120 decision points and over 300 options to choose from, Cinders allows you to shape the main character’s personality and the course of the story.
Why it's cool:
- A serious take on a classic fairytale story.
- Beautiful art by illustrator Gracjana Zielinska.
- Tons of choices and several different endings.
- Moody soundtrack by Rob Westwood.

I never played a Visuell Novel. I'm really excited to see what you made out of the classic Grimm fairytale.
Cool :). We like to think that this game can appeal to people who don't usually play VNs, so tell us what you think after you try it.
The Grimm versions is also a re-telling. The story itself goes way, way back.
Downloading the demo now, excited to try it.
