Canticle

Good Brother,

I extend to you an invitation to join the Lucent Priory as our newest scribe. The Cantor has selected you from many worthy souls. Here you will work with our skilled arcanists to create the next great Incantation—a powerful tome of magic crafted by many minds together.

You shall study various scholarly fields. Though challenging at first, take heart; other new Brothers will join you, helping each other adjust to priory life.

I enclose 10 silver coins for your journey to Starfall Isle. Please arrive before spring begins.

May the Sisters guide you,

Father Orson

Prior of the Lucent Priory

Canticle is a labor of love, and a game I've always wanted to play but can't find; a game where choices matter, where there is deep fantasy world-building and cool narrative-based RPG systems, LGBTQ+ themes, and (optionally hot!) romances.

At the beginning of the game, there is a character customization process, which lets you choose between three characters models:

You will also be able to customize your character's backstory, which will affect the skills your character has, and many of the dialog options in the game. In the screenshot below, the character has access to the Bravery skill, but not the Larceny or Pathfinding skills required for some of the dialog options.

The game features animated character sprites and backgrounds.

Download Chapter One below, and please consider supporting me on Patreon for access to later chapters. I appreciate your ratings and feedback. There is so much more I want to do to get this game to the next level, and I hope you'll be along for the ride. Thank you!
