The world's number one bounty hunter and her friend attempt to solve a string of murders that all appear to be happening in the same manner. A small problem: no one likes Akani and she can't get any information the easy way.  


NOTE - This was my first time using RPGMAKER. It's not a very plot-heavy or long game due to this. The characters belong to a narrative under the name of LAMENT, this isn't their first or last appearance and is simply a side story.

Let me know if there are any bugs.

DUDE OHMYGOD.  I wished I played this sooner.  This was amazing, I've been following your stuff for some time and I cant help but feel more curious about it. The character designs, the exterior and interior designs were phenomenal, I couldn't get enough. The music adds so much to the moments, their bantering, the eerie-strange moments, it completes it. I love their relationship/dynamic, it was fun to see how Mar starts annoying her, how they go back and forth even while working on that. The atmosphere was so beautiful; the scene where someone came up behind Akani to when Mar poked her with a stick, so so so good man. 

Mar having the centipede in her room was really interesting to, her reason/meaning for it there had me so curious to know more about her.

Akani's way of acting and how others treat her is so intriguing too, the documents, them not wanting her to "live a normal life" and would lie and write random information just because they don't like her?? VERY INTERESTING 

The infection????? Dude your lore is so damn cool, I adore it.

Your work never fails to amaze me, its so damn inspiring. Keep up the great work dude I can't wait to see more of it.

This is such a kind comment, thank you for taking the time to write this :__;! I'm very happy that you enjoyed the art and story, it really means a lot that you've been following for a while. 

The centipede is a reference to something that bothered her in her life growing up and still seems to be a bit of an issue. She never liked centipedes due to it. 

I'm glad you picked up on those details, I wasn't sure if they were too missable. She's not very well liked at all, for many reasons... Some just, most not.

I'm not sure if this would help, but I have a bit more information up on my website or on my spare Tumblr. I'm always open to answering what I can. 

I just got a chance to play this and it was awesome! man I love seeing where Lament is going and how the story is evolving and it was even more wicked to see it turn into something more physical like this! I love all the art in this game and mar & akanis dialogue makes me laugh. I also enjoy the stark difference in atmosphere from when we are playing as akani vs mar. I cannot wait to learn more about lament & hopefully play more games in the future.

Thank you so much! I do have more games planned to release when I get the chance.

CREEEPE Thank you :___;... This comment is seriously so nice to hear, you're too kind..... I'll reread this 20 more times now, thanks... .

This game is like a kinetic visual novel, it tells the story of two bounty hunters, a bad ass demon sinner girl Akani and a cute but strange and childish angel regular human Mar.
Their interactions are pretty funny, and the story has a lot of lore. I don't know anything about this world but it looks interesting.
The game is polished, it doesn't have a save system because it doesn't need one, I like that.
Art is pretty good, especially the scenery, also the music is quite nice.
For the plot, there seems to be creatures that come from the sea and spread diseases, the main conflict is resolved fast and easy, it was a pretty chill adventure, and that's to be expected since this is just a side story.

The actual horror here is Akani, I don't think there's anything that can really hurt her, honestly.
I couldn't find any bugs, great job for your first rpg maker game!
