Marginalia is an atmospheric narrative anthology within a single library.
Seven books wait, each one a story. Each one a sin.Â
Each a different world, a different tone, a different truth.
You are not told what to feel.
You are not guided toward the right answer.
There is no right answer.
There is only the choice you make and what it says about you.
Tale 1 - Last Measure
A tale of Pride.
A young bard arrives in a quiet town carrying nothing but his fiddle and his ambition.
He is not alone, though.
A voice has followed him, one that knows his music better than he does, that speaks like his own thoughts, that wants something he hasn’t been asked to give yet.
Last Measure is a narrative-first, combat-free RPG with branching dialogue.
Every conversation matters, some more than you’ll realize until it’s too late.
Tale 2 - Honoured In Memory
A tale of Envy.
The Virells took you in, when your family passed away and raised you as their own.
To the world, you were always one of them.Â
Cael Virell, the brother you were raised beside, is now dead under unclear circumstances.
Everything he left behind belongs to you.
As you move through his life to uncover the mystery of his death, you begin to come closer to the truth,
and it becomes harder to ignore a simple question:
How much of your grief is grief, and how much of it is envy?
Honoured In Memory is a story-driven visual novel focused on observation, character interaction and uncovering the truth. Every discovery brings you closer to a version of yourself you may not want to face.
Seven tales. A library that waits.
“Every story has already been written.
Yours, is not.”
Marginalia is built for those drawn to atmosphere, dialogue, exploration, choices, and story-driven consequences. For those looking for action combat, complex builds, or mechanics-heavy progression, it may not be a fit.
Marginalia is in active development with new tales to come.
