- Pretty good game with good storytelling! It implements the theme nicely and has neat gameplay mechanics too despite being a visual novel. Good job!

Tell us about your game!
The Spreadening is a visual novel game set in a Cthulu mythos inspired world. The fate of all humanity and your sanity depends on defeating a lesser cosmic entity in a winner-take-all game of Klaatu Barada Nikto, or as we humans say, Rock, Paper, Scissors.
A rough, hand drawn approach to the artwork was used to make the story visually engaging and playful. Color selection was an important consideration to create a strong, distinctive style that is (hopefully!) fun to look at.
Did you remember to include your Game Design Document?
Yes
Is your game set to Public so we can see it?
Yes
