Arches Release

After several delays due to life issues for some team members, Arches is finally finished. Arches is a very personal and special visual novel to those who created it, and we're so happy to finally have it released.

Arches was truly a team effort, with all involved working hard to create the best visual novel we could.

Howly - writing, story

Paintfox - sprite art, illustrations

Kardamon - backgrounds

Anthemics - music

Orion - coding

Gumdrop Studios - main menu animation

And of course, thank you to our patrons, who made all of this possible, and for allowing us the opportunity to make something we hope is memorable. We also thank everyone who simply followed and supported Arches, providing us motivation and feedback.
