Nightbringers: Private Magical Contractors [demo]
A downloadable game
A young witch graduate gets an internship at Nightbringers, private magical contractors.
What's the difference between private magical contractors and a traditional witch coven, one may ask? Well, we got a better dental plan, and are actually getting paid for killing people!
THIS IS A DEMO. IT WORKS. HOWEVER, THERE ARE SEVERAL BUGS THAT SIGNIFICANTLY WORSEN THE WHOLE GAMING EXPERIENCE AND DAMAGE FURTHER STORY. YOU ARE VERY ADVISED NOT TO PLAY IT UNTIL THE NEXT RELEASE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION.
Play as Sterling, a young witch graduate. Get the true form of your magic wand revealed, your mentor-witch found, and your new job acquired.
Meet the Nightbringers: Private Magical Contractors, a group of witches-for-hire who are not afraid of getting their hands dirty.
Execute various contracts, and meet different clients inspired by classical fairy tales.
This is a demo of the game, which includes only the prologue. The demo features:
- around 10k words;
- no protagonist customization;
- no romance;
- a lot of swearing.
The full game will be released later and will feature:
- more words;
- still no protagonist customization because she's her own person, dammit;
- 3 romance routes (male, female, and non-binary);
- even more swearing.
This game is intended for mature audiences.
Its primary genre is black comedy/satire, and thus, may feature jokes about heavy topics.
It contains written descriptions/references to fantasy violence, blood, drinking, mild language, disturbing images, and a whole lot of morally dubious actions!
It mentions and/or jokes about suicide, racism, (unsavory) politics, religion, and other risque themes.
It also contains jokes and references to things, events, and people who exist or have existed in our reality, but it is a work of fiction, and these characters exist in a fictional realm of a completely different society—even if it may resemble ours.
The views of the characters do not reflect those of the developers.
Advice offered by the characters may apply to their world only.
We do not advocate for gun violence or private armies in any way, shape, or form.
Reader discretion is advised.

i liked it
I already played your other games and I liked them very much. I'm looking forward to play this when it's finished!
this is COOL AS HELL, can't believe this isn't more popular. The themes and worldbuilding are just so good, and the art is incredible!! there's a lot of potential in a dark-fantasy-parody-of-real-life world like this - even if you don't finish this project, something in the same vein as this in the future could definitely be amazing :D
Thank you for your attention and for playing!
We have a full script, all the music and most of the art done — however, as for now we’re just a little bit stuck with implementing a shooting mini-game. But we will definitely finish the project, so keep an eye on it — the Nightbringers are not the ones to quit a contract mid-air!
