Sacred Line Zero Prototype Is Now Available For Everyone
An April 2015 draft revised in April 2018.
This is a 2015 April draft which was revised by me today before making it public. Fixed many text parts and game crashes.
It shows about 10-15% of the game, overall it was supposed to be at least 2-3 times bigger than Sacred Line Genesis.
The gameplay of the prequel was inspired by Divi-Dead (1998). There are more interaction options and I tried to add an open-world feel to gameplay using direction choices.
Download it here.

[11.2017] Reviews. Lots of reviews. And giveaways.
I’ve been writing movie and videogame reviews for quite a while, but never mentioned it here simply because…I don’t know. I post game reviews under the label Game Obscura here:
http://steamcommunity.com/groups/GameObscura
There are also game giveaways (The Deadly Tower of Monsters, DARIUSBURST, Dreadout, etc.) made in collaboration with publishers, so stay tuned.
And I have more than one hundred movie reviews at the moment, they will appear here sometime soon…probably.

Cassette – Limited to 45 copies (NEN Records)
Digital – Free on torrents
