REINCAR
A downloadable Kinetic Novel for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
This media is intended for mature audiences.
This is an kinetic novel, there is no game mechanics here, no player protagonist, no choices, and the only thing you can do is look at the story in front of you.
The plot and story focuses around Eliot, a human from our world and his story after he mysteriously wakes up in a foreign world where his only lifeline is a werewolf-like person that is willing to help Eliot find a way to the nearest safe place, however the road there is a long one and their vastly different lives will make living and understanding each other a difficult challenge to face while traveling.
I want this story to focus on the characters, their wants and needs, the way they view things and their ability to communicate with each other to make this new uncomfortable lifestyle bearable as they gradually learn how to live together.
For the technical side, I plan for this project to be something as high quality as i can make it, with most character's expression and poses being unique and non-reusable, with some of said expressions and some elements that'd id want to animate, if possible, with a good soundtrack that I'll commission from multiple artists i want to support!
Ideally, I'd want this project to have a visual rhythm similar to storyboards.
The story main points have already been written down and it will be divided into 3 tomes/books that'll each have 4 chapters.
When it comes to length, the demo will be around 8 to 10 minutes, and ideally each chapter would last around 90 to 120 minutes, and while im aware that it's prob not much compared to the standards of other visual novels, the goal is to have a polished, very detailed and visual experience that needs much more artwork than most visual novel projects, so with the amount of work being increased per scene, it's normal that the overall length of the experience is shortened to lessen the overall workload.
The project will not be updated bit by bit publicly, and public releases will only occur when a full chapter is finished.
The 8-10 min demo is AVAILABLE
And last, if you wish to support this project and help me out financially, here's my patreon page where ya can get various rewards ranging from having your name be shown in the chapter's end credits to having access to scripts and story boards, and more!

update plsss T^T
I've always been looking for a VN LIKE THIS. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE STYLE. I’m so excited to see the rest; only the first few minutes really made me want to see more. I'm getting impatient. furry and human Damn yes!!!
Amazing VN I loved the demo, art style, the humor, the design of the characters, they were a great 10 minutes, I would be delighted or preferred even more if it was furry with furry this VN but with human with furry it's okay.
I love is story, well done. Cannot wait for more
I am in loveeeee really hope to see more of this
This was so cool, im def gonna keep Checking the progress of this.
I love the Art style and the dialog.
Good demo (and funny), I'm excited to see more :) and the TTRPG idea would be good too, I would be fully engaged in it, with some replayability to see cutscenes or something else, and be able to be top and/or dom, just not being just bottom and/or sub would be appreciated
The demo is very funny and erotic much, i'll gonna love this
I absolutely love it so far! I’m excited for more! 💖
hey just wanted to say your art style is very picturesque and something very pleasant to look at. the world building that is put in place for this VN seems pretty interesting too ^^ I wonder how you will expore it though this visual medium.
one thing tho I was wondering if it's not overly difficult to work with these many expresions and poses for the characters the visuals look almost animated with this amount of poses. which is impressive but i just wonder if its not overly difficult.
It is overly difficult ya!
But i think it's worth it for what i wanna do.
Obviously i try to take short-cuts when i feel it won't go too far from what i had in mind so i don't have to spend my whole life on this project hah
In fact I've done some change of plans and instead 5 chapters a book (or 5 episodes a season ?) I've decided to cut a lot of fluff and shorten it to 4 of them.
But my goal isn't simply to tell the story i made, but push myself and see what i can do if i aim to do something great, something i want to be proud of for my whole life!
However i don't think that "having more sprites" automatically makes a VN better, it's just that in this specific case i feel it's more than necessary since i don't plan on adding narration, and i also don't want to write too much of the characters inner thoughts too.
Basically instead of a "visual NOVEL" i wanna do a "VISUAL novel"!
My standard for this is: If you can figure out, even if only vaguely, what is happening without reading any text on screen, then i succeeded.
(Obviously due to the nature of some scene being focused on the content of a discussion instead of an action in the world, some scenes will have much more limited sprites variety and won't be held to that standard.)
Other than that, thanks for the kind words, happy to hear it piqued you're interest ^w^
any idea when will be any ubdate ?
In exacly 89 days 18 hours 22 minutes and 3 seconds.
Time traveler spotted
I LOVED THE BEGINNING TOO MUCH IT WAS VERY RANDOM AND THE JOKES MADE ME A LOT OF LAUGHTER 😭 I am VERY looking forward to the new updates of this VN
Strong start! Can't wait for more C:
I'M SO HYPE FOR AT LEAST THE FULL RELEASE OF THE FIRST CHAPTER, THE 10MIN DEMO IS ALREADY MAKING ME JUMP IN DELIGHT AND EXCITE SJSJSUJEJSJDJ
Holy shit, this VN's great.
THE WAY I LAUGHED AT THE LAST IMAGE IN THE PREVIEW i literally have to download this now "dude must be RICH to afford that kind of realistic fursuit" LIKE BRO HAHAHA
Honestly, it must be one of the finest, cuted and most hyping demo i've ever played !
The grafics are beautiful, the writing is nice and got me chuckling more than once, and it's overall so cute ! i love the concept and the characters already !
A really good job ! I look forward playing the real thing :D
Is there an update?
Not yet !
Review in the way the game design (not the story,I'm still playing it)
It quite good,thou may my only complain is how the font colour in the main menu. It a great colour for it that blend well to the design, but I recommend to somewhat make the outline of the font more visible to the eye and pleasant because for the few min of just opening I was greeted with blinding screen for a sec. That all
Ps
It has potential to be a great vn, keep up the good work👍
Can't wait for full
Anyone know why when i am installing(android here) the app it said "the app has not been downloaded"???
Dunno if you still have this issue but you may not have enough storage space.
Worth the wait! Very impressed, look forward to the next update.
Any idea when will be next ubdate? Will this game have ubdate this year ?
Definitely not, public updates only happen when a chapter is fully finished, that means many hundreds of sprites, many individual backgrounds, writing and rewriting stuff, and audio work too.
I know you peeps are waiting a long time, and im thankful for your patience, but even if i were to spend 16 hours a day on it, it still would not be finished in 2023.
ok thx <3
Omg this was soooooo good thanks for blessing us with this Vn!!!!!
lo que sea, no hablo bien ingles, me gusto mucho el juego, va a ser unicamente novlea visual o va a tener mas mecanicas? (Combates, puzzles, distintos finales) o cosas asi?
i love how it is going, i really want to play it and buy it when it will be finish
I love ir jeje when ir Will go full?
WOW
Just WOW
i did not expect this at all. this might be the most original V.N iv'e ever seen so far, and its only a demo!
the fact were seeing through the mc's eyes is really amazing, we really just are omnipresent and watch the story. no reusable models of different faces. but actual scenes! its amazing!
the style is pleasant, not to real but not to cartoonish.
well , yea. the style is quite cartoonish but the rendering and the shading just makes it all better!
the characters are pretty, the backgrounds are pretty!i cant wait for the first chapter to come out and see how the story goes!
please, take your time tho
In the five minutes it took me to read the demo, this has to have some of the most potential out of any VN currently out in early stages.
I can already tell that this VN is utterly oozing with prose and inspiration. I cannot sing to you how refreshing it is to (within five minutes) experience a slice of a world that has been in the works, living, breathing & moving since before I clicked download. The concept art only goes to show my point! This has an absurd amount of potential and I cannot wait to see what comes next of it; all efforts applauded, no holds barred.
P.S. this font is super neat, it's like comic sans but not an eyesore!
P.P.S. It's amazing to see a world that has been tweaked and developed for so long through a story that doesn't take itself too seriously, that's something many professionals forget.
Android 😝
I really liked the demo, I'll probably sign the patreon at the end of the month I want to see the continuation of the story.
For Android users, while there is no port for Android, you should try it through Joiplay.
Very weird, very cute, very short (tempered?), very much unknown. Can't say much with enough sincerity until there is more (or less???) material. Quirky, i like awkward humor! XD
OMG this was amazing. I kid you not, I had so much fun reading this! It was so unique. Please update when you can. I loved this
Hello Creator! Sorry for the disturbance. I am a translator from China.
You are creating a truly amazing work, and we have been thinking that perhaps we could have your permission to create a Chinese patch for Reincar. Additionally, we would be happy to assist with promoting the game in China.
It's worth noting that all of our efforts are actually fan-made translations and provided free of charge.
Any doubt or question please just asking me.
Love,your fan :3
Hello ! Thank you for the nice words, and yes, i would be totally okay with that !
Thank you, I will send the Chinese version to you via patron message later. I hope you will continue to develop the game and eventually achieve success! ^ω^
Demo is great. Would be nice if your Patreon was included in the description of the game to make it a little easier to be found. Excited for future updates.
Oh yeah, i hadn't noticed that i forgot to link it in the description, thanks for the heads up!
i love it
Android ?
What the, why can’t I rate this?? This definitely deserves 5 stars rating!
If you enable users rating, this would definitely get quickly popular despite currently being a demo!
Oh well, I’ll give this a 6/5 stars! Can’t wait for the next continuation!
Aaaaaaa thanks for the heads up, i forgot to re-enable the rating system sdjkfkldfsljkdfs
