Welcome to the world of ''Ballad of the Judgment Night'', a dark fantasy interactive fiction game. In it, you play as an angel who's using their skills for one goal: to destroy the world. Choose how to tackle this goal and how to deal with anyone who would stand against it, regardless of who it is.

This game is 18+. Content warnings: violence, death and murder, language, avoidable sexual content. More detailed content warnings can be found in the game.

Story

The angels live on the moons that float around the planet Mundus, interfering in humanity's affairs only when the Creator thought that would be for the best. To bring peace and harmony.

After centuries of fighting for this cause, now you know that only fools would think there is a possibility of a peaceful world full of harmony. There is no such thing in the ranks of angels, too.

Now the fragile angelic society finally tipped the scales. Chaos for others, an opportunity for you. Soon you'll make sure to wipe out the thought of a "benevolent angel" from anyone's mind, and no dried blood on your hands won't stop you from setting the world on fire.

Featuring

➢ Have the main character's appearance visualized or disable the feature.

➢ Customizable main character: name, gender, pronouns, and appearance.

➢ Choose what kind of sin is seated in your soul and try to live with it.

➢ Find a new weapon: scythe, longbow, or dagger — and try to learn it's secrets.

➢ Interact with a different cast of characters and have a chance to befriend, antagonize or romance them.

➢ Pick how to destroy the world: create a mighty army, use the apocalyptic cult worshippers or seek out the forbidden knowledge.

➢ Multiple endings.

Romance

➢ Dahariel (female) - An angel you know. Every time you saw each other, Dahariel always attempted to befriend you. She's the type of angel who tries to do what's best for angelic society, but what is best in Dahariel's eyes?

➢ Kawasa (male) - A mischievous forest spirit. Kawasa is a popular bard who likes to poke his nose into other people's business, and it's only a matter of time before he'll poke into things he shouldn't.

➢ Lira Zaril (male, female, or non-binary) - A former hero who can't stop being a hero. Intimidating and hostile to nearly anyone, Lira still gets respect from people by fighting evil in this world. And it looks like they can see evil in you.

➢ Opiel (male, female, or non-binary) - The only angel with whom you got close, until Opiel fell and left you when you needed them the most. Now even the sweetest memories of you two together are tainted with bitterness and resentment.

➢ Vilent\Vilentia Roshe (male or female) - The ruler of the Caele Empire. On the better days, people call their monarch fair and just, and at the worst — tyrannical. Can you find some use in them, or will they find use in you?

➢ Zephyrus (non-binary) - An undead seer. With a mysterious aura and polite smiles, they often appear in the right places at the right time, telling the right things to the right people.

➢ Abandoned one (?) - Someone who waited long enough.

So sad this is abandoned 😭 The plot is unique and intriguing, and I absolutely love how evil my MC can be, offing angels and people left and right without a care LOL

Well rip this IF...


It's a shame, I liked the customization.

COME BACK!!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Writer abandoned it unfortunately, not sure what happened to them but the last update was 2 years ago.

i JUST found this masterpiece and it's abandoned... gonna go cry now

I will play over and over again until Nick comes back to this. Hell Yeah.

I had hope, its gone now

Love the game, is there going to be any options for downloading it?

It's dead.

HELLO???????? I JUST PLAYED THIS GAME AND IS LITERALLY SOOO GOOD!??!?"?="=#093 I LOVE ITTT, we need more of this game LIKE literally more, i love the colours, aesthetic, fonts, the draws, characters etc... looks so gothic but in an elegant way with this angelic/demonic beautiful vibe (and villian tho), i hope the developers continue it

Anytime I get into a good ass game like this it's either isn't finished yet or abandon BUT the creators are probably getting writers block, and or don't know how to write the other chapter(s)

Same

I love this game so much!!!but it seems to have no more information....:(

The most amazing IFs are always abandoned.....

My god (pun intended) this was absolutely beautiful to read through! I love how cold and apathetic our MC is however I get to at least make MC as close as morally good as they can. Not only that but I'm gunning for that cult ending (hehehe) more so because I find it curious if I can get respect and ardent worship by just having MC be blunt, bland, yet orthodox. Not only that but I love how polished everything is! I adore the interface of the entire screen and though it took a bit of time to get used to the character portrait, I like how I can visualize MC being in this scenarios because of the portrait.

I'm looking forward to learning more about our mysterious MC and the reason why they seem hellbent (hehehe) on destroying the world, not only that but I'm curious about that oh so mysterious RO of ours~!

Procrastinate as much as you can before going to hell Love it! Love this whole story >3> angel of death too ooooo LOVE it <.< Scythe BABY!<3 >3> gonna romance all men I can over and over <3

Procrastinate as much as you can before going to hell? I love this silly little guy already!

I cant wait to see more about that mysterious undead figure. This is beautifully made!!

got hooked, need update

Anybody knows if this project is dropped or not?

Looks like another dead IF. I have many of these on my itch.io list. I don't even know why I keep follow them...

bro when is this gonna get an update

(1 edit)

the game still didn't get chapter 2 after year💀

frrr

When it got to the part where it showed an angel having a scarf with pronouns on it I had to stop reading. That part was just too funny lmao

lmao same

Dead IF?

From what I've seen on their Tumblr it isn't dead, last thing they were doing was looking for beta testers although this was a while ago.

Absolutely love where this is going! Can't wait for futre updates!

Honestly, there should be more IF with evil oriented MC. I loved the premise and can't wait how the story progresses from here. Even without the romance aspect, the feature where you could choose how to destroy the world? That alone already hooked me in. Pretty ambitious though so all the luck and time to you author. I just hope this isn't abandoned.

Loving it so far! Can't wait for more! 

I also really love the aromantic and asexual options can be speprate!

Honestly, the story's concept sounds pretty interesting, and the character creator is kind of cool, but it's so poorly written that I couldn't get through more than a few pages. Oh well...

Really enjoyed this, and looking forward to more. For those having issues downloading it, try from the itch.io client instead of from browser. I don't see a download option on the page, but the itch.io client lets me download it just fine anyways.

i really really really like the UI for this! very spicy and secsi shade of red as well! hope the next part comes out!

dafuq....where can i donwload it....i cant ind it anywhere or am i just blind

I don't think you can.

This was great and if I may ask when will the second chapter be coming out

Thank you!

I don't have a set date, but it should be out somewhere this spring.

This game was great cant wait for chapter two

Thank you so much! <3

eventually can you add a more feminine character portrait not just change the gender or apperance or the genital cause for me having almost a julius ceasar face and having every single trait of a woman for a main character sometimes is confusing and when i begin a new game i double check the options to make sure i did the gender and things correctly for my current mc(main character)so if the mc is considered a woman can you add a more feminine mc portrait please?|edit: i also really like the game and where it revolves, keep doing the awesome game, and be safe. -abyssal28

In character creator, there are options to choose a general form of the face and lips. Don't these options add what you want (or close to it)? In the future, I might change slightly how "rounded" face looks like and I might change eyes a little (but they'll be changed for everyone), but I don't have plans to add anything more.

If that's not for your liking (which is perfectly understandable!), I advise you to hide the portrait and imagine your character however you like. It is, after all, a text-based game!

And thank you for enjoying the game and stay safe, too!

thanks for everything and for hearing me out

Great demo: can't wait for more!

Thank you! I hope you'll enjoy the future content~

Let me tell you I was about to throw my mouse when I reached the end. I didn't want it to end. Quick note on spelling/grammar, numerous times the word "settling" was used instead of "setting."

I'm not sure if I should say "I'm happy you liked the game so much you almost broke your mouse" ahaha, but thank you for playing it~

And thank you for reporting this! This (and a bunch of other mistakes) will be fixed with the next update.

hi from france ! this game cool so far ! i can't wait for more :)

ps : i reallyyyyy like the fact that our mc can be "evil" (with moderation XD)

Bonjour! Thank you for the interest and this nice comment! <3 I hope you'll continue enjoying playing with an evil MC~

This is really great so far, I had a blast playing through the demo.
However, this does need quite a bit of proofreading/editing for grammar and syntax. The story and concept are fantastic though. Just needs that last touch of beta-reading and editing for clarity. I'm sure you'll find volunteer beta-readers in no time. 

Really great stuff, keep it up! :)

Thank you for your interest and kind words!

I hope that the bad grammar didn't hinder your enjoyment of the story too much. I can't wait to properly look for beta-readers\players so that this will stop being the problem (or at the very least minimize it)

Thank you again! <3

dope cant wait for more :)

Thank you! It's always nice to see that people are interested in more of this~

Very good I cant wait until there is more!

Thank you! I'm glad you're excited for more~

Hey there! I just found your game thanks to a friend, and I find the premises interesting, especially with my love of angels. But I would like to ask a question before I actually try it out, since it may contain a type of content I can't really enjoy, if that's okay with you?

In stories revolving either about the MC seeking revenge or the MC being a "villain", I love to play a "redemption" or "forgiveness" path. Is that a thing in this game? I'm not really able to enjoy a game where the "evil" or "vengeful" path is forced, so I prefer to ask beforehand!

Thank you in advance!

Hi! It is okay to ask such questions, yes~

So without giving out too much, there are multiple endings, some of them might be just the thing that you want. I'll also add that while this story is about the main character who is a villain, I wanted to give different ways of playing this character, and I have planned different character arcs for MC.

But you did ask about a path, not endings, and while the endings won't come out of nowhere and you'll be able to pick choices that lead to these endings and see the influence of these choices before the endings, it's still not quite a path per se, so I guess it's up to you to decide if this suffice or not.

However, I will say that you shouldn't expect MC to drastically change their morals and views.

I hope this cleared things for you, and feel free to ask more if you have other questions!

Thank you, it helps! What I'll do is that I'll start the game, and I'll go through the beginning of the story. If I see the choices never go in a way I should like, I'll leave it at that. Otherwise, I'll continue playing!

Thanks again!
