what's AVALON?
Enter the world of AVALON...
what's AVALON? is a short visual novel about a virtual world and the secrets of its development. You play as John, an average yet slightly aggressive businessman taking some much-needed time off in the world of Avalon. Things don't go as planned, however, and he quickly finds himself face-to-face with ZX5, one of the many AI running this seemingly idyllic paradise. Confronted with his own issues of identity and sexuality, John's vacation takes quite an unexpected turn.

I have to admit the story is well done I so far chose the decision to refuse to the sexual scene ZX5 offers but I got to learn more of him in doing so. I do love the music and would like to download it for listening maybe I can get it from Minipaquin's sound cloud? And if not could I maybe get an idea where I could get the mp3's from? And I did find ZX5 and other AI interesting I'd love to see more and maybe find out why ZX5 is able to be free as a "rouge" Ai unlike the others wonder if they could be freed too?
Didn't expect to resonate so strongly with John and especially ZX5, but it's a huge testament to the visual direction and the writing as a whole! :crying_emoji:
A comforting, heart-wrenching story about deconstructing messages you grow up internalizing - yet so loving and hopeful for the future that lies ahead. I can't wait to see which projects you work on next and how the world of Avalon develops, should that be your intention.
Thank you for creating this game!
This game was really fun, I really wish that there will be a sequel to this game that is just about a possible romance story between ZX5 and John
The game is fascinating and I liked the art style but the protag is so vile... I'm pretty sure that was on purpose but damn. That shit was hard to read
Android version please?
i'm very sorry, but since this project was made in such a short timeframe, none of the assets are optimized for mobile. i will definitely look into making android versions of any future games i create, but as for this specific game, i unfortunately just don't have the time to rework all of the assets into an android release. i hope you can understand! i'm really sorry for the inconvenience.
ohh it's okay! I understand that ;)
Dammit, game looked good, then I realized it was Yaoi. A sad day for a straight male like me. Hope everyone else enjoys this though, it looks good.
I would like to know how the world look like outside avalon.
This game is so well written and the character design is so cute. I loved the vivid description in the sex scene. The MC icon was really neat too.
This was incredible. I am glad I followed the recommended play order. I connected so deeply with both John and ZX5's stories, and I am left wanting to know and experience more of them, especially together. You made it so natural and soft and sweet, I am barely recovering. Thanks for sharing this incredible piece of work with us! I am so looking forward to see more of Avalon.
I loooooved this. The two characters bounced off each other beautifully and I loved how it didn’t shy away from those complicated feelings you get from being closeted and having to pretend and push things down. The sex was really well written too!! 😳💖
The art is so colourful and vibrant it really fits with the overall message of the game! I love all of ZX5’s expressions. I am picking him up and squishing his cheeks.
Very excited to see more of this project!
