Sovereignty

Seeking shelter from a blizzard, you find yourself in a remote manor mere hours after a murder was committed there. Someone must be punished for the crime, and the decision is forced upon you.

Sovereignty is a short (<30 min) point-and-click visual novel in which you are tasked with exploring the residence of three people, and piecing together the story behind the killing of one of them.

The game is available to be played in browser for your convenience, and can also be downloaded in executable form.

Made over a few weeks in December 2022 as part of the Winter Visual Novel Jam 2022.
