The Story
What is Arcane City?
Arcane City is a Visual Novel (A work of interactive multimedia fiction) that veers away from the traditional Anime Art and Music Styles that are typical to the genre, which bridges the gap between a novel, a pc game, and a comic book or manga.
It is a Horror Visual Novel based on the original Canon of HP Lovecraft - the father of modern horror....however, there is a very unique 'twist' and perspective shift on the Mythos.
Various other influences come from the horror of the 1980s, specifically by films such as 'The Thing', 'Society', 'Re-Animator', 'In The Mouth of Madness', 'Lifeforce', etc, as well as the original Twilight Zone Series.
