FAQ (Frequently asked questions)

1. When will the game be released?

Please read this post. Thank you for understanding.

2. Will the game be Free?

No. I still haven't decided what the price's going to be but after a lot of consideration I decided I'm not willing to make my games free anymore unless they're for a game jam or something along those lines. Making games takes a lot of time and money and I really can't afford to make everything I create free. 

3. Will the game be on Steam?

There aren't any plans for that, at the moment, sorry. As a creator from Argentina, my sales from Steam would be in Argentine Pesos and, honestly, the economy in my country is so bad right now that I can't really bear the cost of having sales in pesos. Especially considering that many of the people I hire for art, voice acting and other things are from overseas and I have to pay them in USD as well. 

This might change if I ever move to another country some day... but for now, I really can't. Sorry.

4. Will there be an Android port?

Most probably yes! But not right away since these take a bit of time and I'd need to hire people to help me.

DISCLAIMER!

Do NOT reupload, resell or redistribute my game or any of the assets used inside it in any shape or form.

Streaming the game and/or making gameplay videos of it is allowed, though, and even welcomed AS LONG AS it has commentary added to it. Uploading the game with no commentary/barely any reaction would be akin to reuploding my game, which I DO NOT allow. Thank you for understanding!

Review, analysis/essay and recommendation videos are allowed and welcomed too!

WARNING!

While the game doesn't have any NSFW content, it's recommended for people who are 17 or older due to having strong language, violence, blood & murder. Player discretion is advised. PLEASE, be sure to read the TRIGGER WARNINGS and reconsider if this game is for you. Play responsibly.

Note: Killer Trait is a mystery-thriller visual novel with elements of romance depending on the choices you make. The character you can romance is a man named Oz. The other 3 major characters, Arthur, Aslan & Carl are NOT romanceable and I have no intention of adding routes for them. 

In Carl's case, though, while he won't be a love interest in this game, he WILL be in another one with a different MC. That game is for the far future, though, since I want to concentrate on my current projects, at the moment.

STORY

You've waited so long for this moment... 

Finally, after all those years of hard work in Silvering City, you'll realize your dream of becoming a police detective...! 

Or so you thought.

Betrayed and accused of a crime you didn't commit, your only option is to join forces with a serial killer.

Will you push your differences aside and work together to get revenge? Or will you stab him in the back for a chance to regain social redemption?
