About

Featuring a blend of 2D adventure and visual novel, The Mildew Children: Chapter 1 is the very beginning of the grim tale about a village inhabited only by children who follow savage pagan traditions. Guide a young witch named Kyrphel, along with her sisters and make sure they survive the macabre Ritual in order to save the village. A witch's demise during the ritual is not extraordinary, since not all can triumph over Mistress Death. This time, Kyrphel is strong enough to handle it. Or so she thought.
Combining the elements of fairy tale and horror, the story draws on pagan folklore and ancient beliefs. Accompany Kyrphel and her friends in this grim, beautifully hand-drawn adventure game. Take part in the Ritual and discover the secret of the village, interact with peculiar villagers, bewitch, and overcome the affliction that haunts the young sorceress.

- A full chapter of the origin story that introduces the player to local traditions and sets the stage for the adventure that follows.
- Approximately 1 hour of narrative and gameplay combining investigations, puzzles, quick-time events (QTE) and multiple-choice dialogues.
- The variety of unique locations: the village streets, the burial ground, the RItual.
- A series of tough decisions that will force you to think twice about how you proceed - will you go against ancient traditions or follow them to the end?
- Characters with a detailed personality and story, unique portraits reflecting the characters' emotions during dialogues. Numerous side characters Kyrphel would have to interact with in order to fulfill her goals.

评分:3/5 评测:封建宗教题材的横版叙事游戏,游戏没有什么解谜部分,基本上全程都是在看对话,所以比起横版玩法来说,感觉做成视觉小说可能其实效果更好一些。不过还凑合吧,也算是有点特色,可以体验
Отличная игра, хоть и не мой жанр. Отличные звуки, удобное управление, интересная история, есть геймплей и миниигры что необычно для визуальных новелл. Помни, ты никогда не переродишься в этом мире, но от обязательств хранить свой народ от воли злых богов это тебя не освободит. Теперь, зная это, запускай игру и да будет Владычица милостива к тебе...
Мне понравилось играть в пролог игры .Хочу теперь попробовать полноценную игру Дети Плесени .

Очень красивая и атмосферная игра. Лор затягивает и интригует. Играл, конечно, только в первую главу пока, но впечатления очень положетнльные!
This release is identical to Demo available on the page of the full game, but here you also have achievements. Good folk story concept. Although to me this teaser is rather slow and low on activity: lots of text that could be shorter and not so much besides that. Also the text has some surprisingly basic mistakes. I think such setting is not much represented so it's a product worth attention despite quality a bit lower than you'd normally want.
Бесплатная вводная часть мрачной сказки в жанре 2D-приключения + визуальной новеллы. Вы играете за юную ведьму Кирфел, которая живёт в деревне, населённой только детьми. Их жизнь подчинена жутким древним ритуалам, а по достижении 19 лет каждый должен умереть, чтобы возродиться заново.
отличная демка, проходится за 40 минут. красивый визуал, атмосфера, знакомство с миром. заинтересовали механики (!!) геймплея в визуальной новелле.
[h1] Озвучка [/h1] Как же много в игре значит озвучка! Вот реально, не знаю, прошел бы я её, если бы все главы были бы такими же немыми, как эта.

Крайне короткий, ко очень занимательный пролог (ну или же первая глава), который знакомит нас с главной героиней, несколькими персонажами и немного, скажем так, правилами этого мира. Играть, а вернее читать, было крайне интересно, картинка очень приятная, сюжета мало, но он затягивает. Немного не хватило музыки на фоне, славянской или же скандинавской. Да, иногда (вернее один раз) на фоне начинает играть мелодия, но этого мало, хотя звуковое сопровождение (шум окружающего мира) очень приятное. Крайне приятный проект, обязательно буду брать полную версию!
