Ventreville: A Cure For Sorrow
I love how visual novels are drawing in more and more of the features of classic adventure games, proving yet again my theory that all genres want to evolve to point-and-click eventually. Ventreville looks to have far more interactivity than the genre is known for, with a town to explore, six protagonists, puzzles to solve, all in the name of uncovering the secrets of Remedium, a cure to a plague that is destroying the city.
This is a fair way off, with a release date in 2026, but there’s already a demo to give you a taste.
