* A free key of the game was given to me. Even so, that didn’t affect my opinion of the final product. Episicava Vol.1 is a medium-length action visual novel by Epic Works. Episicava tells the story of a young man called Arin Arlento and his search of revenge against the people that murdered his entire village and family. Also in this world, humans have su…

I backed this game on Kickstarter, and I'm sorry I did. It's a visual novel that reads like a 13-year-old's adaptation of an over the top action animé. Every interaction in the game feels like a struggle for dominance where someone has to put someone else in their place, and by that I mean action scenes, dialogue and even the optional R18 scenes. Every int…

Note: I've experienced this game off Steam, but was provided with a Curator Connect copy regardless, so disregard my playtime - the actual length of Episicava is around 10 hours. -------------------------------------- I can't say I expected much from this game, but I think it's still fair to call it a disappointment. It claims to be inspired by famous fig…

About this game

About This Game

Story
Fifty years ago, the face of the Earth was permanently changed when it came into contact with a mysterious force known as the “Alpha Nebula.” As a result, humans developed various supernatural abilities and divided themselves based on those traits.
The main factions include: The Tonitrui, the Excedente, the Praecantator, the Permuto, and the Northmanni. Each has their own unique set of abilities that came with the collision – with the exception of the Northmanni, who remain largely unchanged.
Among these races, however, existed a special group of people who managed to retain all the other races’ abilities. They were a very powerful - but small and isolated group - known as “Emulators.”
Arin Arlento was one of these people, living in a remote village with his grandfather and other members of their race; everything was peaceful until the Northmanni Empire massacred the Emulators and kidnapped his childhood friend, Aria.
The only other survivor, Arin escaped into the Northmanni’s home continent of Rakos, hiding and plotting his revenge – that is, until he found out that Aria was still alive and was being experimented on.
Loathing the world that took everything away from him, Arin begins his quest to retrieve his friend and exact retribution on those who destroyed all that he held dear.
It’s one misguided man against the world…
