Dear Devere
Immerses players in a hauntingly intimate visual novel experience, unfolding through handwritten letters and personal correspondences. Set in 1935, the story follows Angela Bard, a reserved woman in the Scottish isles, whose life shifts irrevocably after receiving an enigmatic reply from an unknown sender dubbed "Devere." Through illustrated letters, postcards, and documents, the narrative explores their evolving relationship, blending mystery, emotion, and historical atmosphere. Voice acting brings depth to Angela, Devere, and supporting characters, while customizable accessibility features—like Open Dyslexic font, text-to-speech, and toggleable voice modes—enhance readability. The game offers multiple endings, shaped by player choices, and includes a Simplified Chinese translation by EchoriverTranslators, with an appendix detailing localization efforts. Developed by Team Katy133 (Chintarmanya Vivian, Mike Young, Paul Robins, Sarah S, HusbandoGoddess, Rawon, and Natasha), the project merges.
