Trials of H̶a̸r̶mo̷n̷y

SilverTabbyCat - Visual Novel Games

About this game

A short story reminiscent of titles such as Simulacra, Replica and A Normal Lost Phone. Inspired by games such as Danganronpa and the Zero Escape series, Trials of Harmony's narrative focuses around a Death Game told entirely through the perspective of a mobile messaging app. 📱


In this dark narrative you'll find yourself imprisoned thousands of feet underground and forced to lead a group of mismatched survivors through a series of life-threatening games.

Who's behind all of these abductions and blood-chilling riddles?
And why make them go through all of this?
Will you be able to choose who lives...
...and who ultimately fails the Trials of Harmony.



🗝️ Key Features:

💬 Meaningful choices that directly affect the progression of the narrative;
💯 A points-based system that dictates the survivability of the characters around you;
🧩 Logic riddles and word-puzzles;
⏱️ An estimated length of 10 (nail biting and nerve racking!) hours.
📚 An original "short" story, roughly 43,000 words long. Expect lots of reading!

*Please note that Trials of Harmony is currently only available in English*

Ratings and reviews

Worth the price but needs polish. Poor UI design kept me from giving it 5 stars. Needs a skip feature to speed up the dialogue, and the save/load menu could use a rework. It's too easy to accidentally click load rather than delete, easier to just make a new save instead and two choices for cancelling seems redundant.. The story starts off a bit slow and didn't hook me at first but I stuck to it and ended up liking it in the end. Don't expect to be amazed, but for a budget VN it delivers.

This could be the best game in the world and I would never know cuz I accidentally hit the home key and the 2 seconds I was gone from the game made it reset my progress. So many games have instant save. Why does this one not? And how do I get my money back? Edit. It never auto saved and I was so far back there was no way I was gonna sit and fast forward through 10 minute of dialogue and have to play the mini game all over. I'm leaving my review.

Definitely quench my thirst for a Danganronpa style game, been looking all over playstore for a game similar to it and this by far is the best one yet. I bought it on sale and honestly would've bought it with the original price as well, it was worth it. Looking forward for more of your work dev! Max points to this gem!
