Killer Trait
A downloadable game
FAQ (Frequently asked questions)
1. When will the full-game be released?
Sometime around 2027. It takes quite a while for me to make games. Please, be patient with me ಥ_ಥ 🙏 Thank you for understanding!
2. Will the game be Free?
No. 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 full-game be on Steam?
Eventually, it might! I will be moving to another country that will make this easier. However, keep in mind that it will take me a bit of time since I'm very new to this. The full-game will most likely be released on itch.io first.
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.

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?

NOTE
Killer Trait's only love interest is 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 Mystic Cipher (a different game where he's the deuteragonist and Fay Arcana is the protagonist). That game is for the far future, though, since I want to concentrate on my current projects, at the moment.
However, you can already play Reynard, which is a short prequel to it:
Want to know more about Oz? Then you can get his character interview! It's fully voiced by Oz's VA!
