A poetic adventure.
## About This Game
## “They say Hell lies in other people, but I don’t think it’s worse than
living with your own past. Those people barely grasp what Hell can really
be.”
## Synopsis
You are Avoir Cafard , a miserable, dull man that lives in a dirty and
deplorable apartment, in a forsaken town with sad people and monotonous
situations.
Avoir works in a local church as a spiritual counselor for people who have
problems with life, either because of friendships, love, work, or family.
During five days, he will attend five different people with different
situations that are disturbing them.
Taking them for a walk.
Talking to them for a while.
Making them see that things are not so bad as they imagine.
Maybe that will help them, somehow.
While at it, Avoir is also trying to solve his own problems. Problems about
his own past.
He wishes to forget it at all costs.
Sadly, memories from an eternity seem impossible to forget.
## About
Raziel ( Rah-ziih-ell ) is an adventure -esque , atmospheric and utterly
poetic game where you wander about solving small tasks and talking to people.
It aims to be a character study of five distinct people and their stream of
consciousness, while also being a tale about introspection, alienation,
nostalgia, loneliness, and the human condition.
The game is set within five days of Avoir’s life. In each of them, you meet a
different person which you must help to ease their struggles about life while
discovering new things about Avoir himself.
While not taking care of them, you are free to wander about in the city
talking to its inhabitants and maybe even helping them along the way.
It revolves in five chapters with a prologue, two interludes, and an epilogue.
It was made using RPG Maker 2000 , using everything the engine has to offer.
