i plan on playing this later, but the only thing that hooked me about it (not that the furry and lgbt stuff repels me, i dont care much abt that) is the supernatural element mentioned. before i play it, can someone tell me in a nutshell the answer to a couple questions?
1. what "kind" of supernatural stuff is it? ghost? religious?
2. are the supernatural stuff explained later in the story?
⚠️ POSSIBLE SPOILERS ⚠️
1. I don't know specifically how to explain this supernatural thing that appeared, since the only supernatural creature that appeared had little screen time.
2. The supernatural only appeared in the game in a concrete way once and that was when the protagonist dies (in an alternative ending), so they don't explain or mention it.
Hi, unfortunately since the last update I haven't been able to load my past saves, and the skip button isn't working either. Id like to know if theres anything I can do, or if I'll have to start over? I know its a little late, but I only came bacl to playing the game today so I didn't know of this issue before. Im using android.
Cienie is an absolutely captivating visual novel that masterfully blends mystery, thriller, and supernatural elements into a rich and atmospheric experience. The setting of Sypniewo feels authentic and immersive, perfectly complementing the intriguing narrative as you step into Tomasz’s shoes and unravel the layers of the town’s eerie disappearances. The writing is sharp and engaging, with characters that feel deeply real, their relationships and struggles pulling you further into the story.
The LGBT+ and furry representation is handled thoughtfully, adding meaningful depth to the diverse cast. I also appreciated how choices affect relationships and outcomes, offering a subtle but impactful sense of agency. The mature themes are explored with care, never gratuitous, and they add a grounded layer to the fantastical elements.
Cienie stands out as a shining example of what a visual novel can be—compelling, thought-provoking, and emotionally resonant. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a story-driven game with heart and substance!
