Seventh Lair
From NOVECT, the creators of the highly acclaimed The House in Fata Morgana, comes Seventh Lair, a tongue-in-cheek, but emotional look at the online interactions between an indie game developer and fans!
Story
Dark†Knight, 27 years old, an indie game developer beginning to grow apprehensive about his lack of success. His life is on the bottom rung of society, and his career hangs on by a thread, but it’s all about to take a positive turn when one of his very enthusiastic female fans reaches out.
The creative process was once driven by a vague desire to be recognized, but now he has real inspiration in his feelings for her, and in 2013 he knew he could make a hit unlike any other.
On his website, “Royaume Heaven”, the regulars tended to go overboard with their critique on the forum page. After Dark†Knight’s own involvement took a steep drop, one of the worst trolls, J.B kept pushing and pushing. “Come on you hack creator, hurry up and spit out a new game.”
Then at last, Dark†Knight responded with a single comment.
“I’ll have a new release on April Fool’s”
On the day of April 1st. The newly uploaded game file was entitled “Seventh Lair”. But the moment the download was performed, Dark†Knight and the others were sucked into an RPG-like realm…!
This Meta-Fantasy explores raw emotion and despair, in the context of our interactions on the web.

the story is well-written, but I wish it didn't use the Fata Morgana characters because it's so painful.

A MASTERPIECE! (T---T)~! What have u done to my heart and my handkerchief! (T---T)~!
When i understood THE ALL THING, I cryed so much! This is 3rd game i played. And i think understood the all thing, i think. The creator of a game his role was a Michel from previous 2 games, but in this game The creator role is a Maria and died friend have a role of Michel - now i see how deep and pure the love, despair, love trinagle , friendship, transgretion, childhood, life ect , was! When i saw site - this is hurt me so bad! I don't know english so well to dicribe this all Thing and my emotions, but it's hurt me so deep !
I love all your games here! I never read so deep and personal dramas , not even in the books. I wish u to care the light throgh your games in the world and in the dark, depressed , offended, evil human souls .
And i love the ending , like how said in a song : "and if we eat sh^%t together, we will maybe made up differently" - good.
And i feel so bad about Paulina and Aida. they were in all games and i want to know them more - will be 3rd game about them?
What's about their future, souls and fates?
