Last week, I was invited to the birth of a Nilpert, an animal I was assured only gives birth once every seven years. A joke, ...

It’s happening. The first part of Update 0.5 goes live this Wednesday for Mavericks!
It’s a full update. One day in the life of Annelise. Olala.
To put it into perspective, part 1 will be the second biggest update so far.
As per usual, we’re all fumbling in the dark about what...
Hey guys. As the character introduction is rolling out, one knows we’re getting close to a new update. In around 3 weeks or so, the 0.5 update will be ready. It's going to be one day, which means update 0.5.5, I guess? Don't quote me on that... Will be launching not too far behind, as all t...

Hey guys,
a little history lesson about The Wasteland ;) I put together a short story from my notes.
Thought it’d be nice to share.
Northton-Rinsdale Intermunicipal Industrial Belt, what a name. A certain gentleman by the name of Alderman Righard Baumstark came up with it in t...
"We get it on most every night, when that moon is big and bright..."
Sounds familiar right? Dancing in the Moonlight of course by King Harvest.
What also sounds familiar is Annelise waking up and heading to Rinsdale at the very start of the visual novel.
But what happened the night be...
Financial Ties and Political Fallout
Claud Varnell, known for his sharp rhetoric and iron-willed campaigning, had steadily climbed the ranks of the CCU — better known as "The Cause" — over the last decade. His appeal was undeniable: a man from modest beginnings, tough ...
Annelise finds herself cooling off under the stars... A quiet pool, but a restless mind.
Cheers

Hey everyone,
The 0.4 update is almost ready to launch! In the past, it didn’t make much of a difference, but with many new members in the tier lists, I’ll be releasing the update in stages this time.
Since there are no Philanthropist tier members, and it’s a new thing...

We're Almost There, We're Almost There... You guessed it, Michael Jackson with... We're Almost There. Look it up! Really, it's a great song.
So we're getting there. Yes. Almost every scene has been created, apart from the second path of the last big scene. I overdid it a bit with the n...

Tom Dujardin 1960. Eldest of three in a modest, middle-class family. His father worked long hours at a factory while his mother took care of the children. From an early age, Tom took his responsibility, often helping with repairs at home and taking on odd jobs around the neighborhood to help his ...

A quiet room, a golden cage, and a watchful eye... For now, some truths are better left hidden.
Ahh, things grow more mysterious, it means the update draws closer. It certainly wasn’t her morals that led her there, but if she had to play the game, she’ll make sure the worst players don...
Cheers!
The shoot is done in a room that I've edited. You’ll probably recognize it in the next update, though there’s no real connection between the two. Just a fun little coincidence!
Hi everyone!
Another update after a while. All is well, birds are chirping, and the story creation continues. I also have some news as I officially started a company for the Aracelis visual novel. Mostly for legal purposes, but still, it's pretty cool to take the next step into the creation...

Peeps!
I hope everyone managed to finish the year accordingly and in style! That it had some beloved dinners and/or parties, so we’re all fresh and cheerful to start the new year. etc etc... Ehem.
The elephant in the room; What the hell is Waylon up to, and why does the situation ...
2025 is nearly here, and Annelise will be stepping into it with style and just the right amount of winter magic! Thank you for all the support. Cheers to a year of exciting adventures!

Henry Bagshaw grew up in a household where discipline was strict, and expectations were high. Born in 1956 as the youngest of five sons, his childhood was shaped by the strong presence of his father, a school director who demanded excellence.
Struggling to carve his own path, Henry eventual...

Humans,
While some roam the city in search of cold hard cash, others chase after glory, or something that looks like it. But in Rinsdale, nothing is ever what it seems. Remember that.
Aracelis v0.4 is moving along. Tom has been checking his chess opening moves, while Henry Bags...
It’s time for the side characters to shine! Which of these unknown heroes (or troublemakers) deserves their big moment? Cast your vote and let the drama unfold!

Citizens,
With the first round of applications for the mayoral race officially underway, some political factions are still debating who will carry their banner. Rumor has it neither Frank nor Claud will be in the running. But unlike these undecided factions, Aracelis 4.0 has alrea...

Sometimes you just want a quiet Halloween night with a few funny looking jack-o'-lanterns… and suddenly you’re brooding in front of a haunted mansion wondering where it all went wrong.
Used photoshop and ai on an earlier photoshoot of Annelise.
A new day, a new update. Well, this time it's the game update itself, so no random gibberish sadly.
Annelise feels the shift in her life, standing on the edge of something new. Between unexpected encounters and promising opportunities. Hope you enjoy.
Updated renders, a storyline th...
Dear Citizens,
So, let’s say it’s 4 a.m. and you’re out for a casual midnight walk, because, you know, that’s what people do right? You stroll through a cozy room, moonlight shines through the window, everything is calm, everything is chill, nothing to worry about... You're just hav...

Good morning!
Here's a little sneak peek of the new renders shown at the beginning of the game.
