Freely downloadable Darksynth-themed visual novel
Hope Left Me is a free retro-themed game that immerses players in the mysterious world of a visual novel. With anime themes and an original Darksynth soundtrack, this game should appeal to rogue-lite RPG fans.
While the graphics of Hope Left Me are similar to other Japanese-inspired games, such as Narita Boy, the plot and sheer level of longitudinal character development will provide an engaging over experience.
Connecting the dots
The main character awakes to find herself in a cold and unfamiliar environment. She soon notices the presence of another mysterious girl named Sasha, who is dressed in Soviet-era clothing. They soon strike up a conversation and begin unraveling a strange storyline.
An old-school narrative
Hope Left Me has been engineered in such a way as to mirror the classic narrative-driven games of the DOS era. While this is ideal for fans of nostalgia, it should appeal equally to younger players who enjoy a mesmerizing plot.
Original music
Interestingly enough, Hope Left Me was originally created as a music album by the artist Astrophysics. It was only later that the platform was developed into a first-person narrative RPG. This is the very same reason why the soundtrack is entirely original.
Descending deeper into the rabbit hole
The gripping plot of Hope Left Me offers an intensive storyline with plenty of surprises to uncover. When this is combined with anime elements associated with other popular games, such as NosTale, alongside a calming soundtrack, players should expect a memorable experience. This platform is particularly appropriate for fans of specific musical genres, such as Synthwave and Shoegaze.
