First Post: About Entropic Float!

 Entropic Float: This World Will Decay And Disappear.


Entropic Float is a visual novel regarding the experiences of fourteen people who've been trapped inside a magical construct known as the Anomalous Clocktower. Missing memories of how they came to be there, certain aspects of their past life, and of course, every loop but the current one, can those who awakened inside the anomaly find a way out?

Step into the shoes of Rashmi Jamil, Kanatsun, and Amelie Macon at different times of day as you seek a resolution. In each loop, you'll also be challenged to make the right decisions to overcome Entropy, in the hopes that the protagonists' memories might make it through to another version of themselves if the loop doesn't end in tragedy.

Game Details

Entropic Float is currently in actively development, and I'll be doing my best to make biweekly development posts on this site up to and following the game's release.

This game is a Visual Novel created using the Ren'Py Python Engine, and graphics made utilizing Illusion's Koikatsu, an 18+ game with a robust character creator and posing studio which has been widely repurposed for SFW use. Due to my use of Koikatsu for the graphics, EF will be free to download upon release. If you wish to financially support me independently of this, a link to my other platforms can be found in this site's navigation.

Entropic Float does not have any unconventional gameplay elements for a visual novel. Although there are puzzles in the story, those puzzles will be solved regardless of player choices. The game will access the player's system time, as well as the choices the player makes, in order to determine routes and endings.

Entropic Float will have Nine Regular Routes and One True Route. Each regular route has two different endings based on player choice. After finding all eighteen regular endings, the player will unlock the true route. 

The Game's Accessibility Features:
  • Entropic Float is only partially voiced, but Ren'Py games include an option for the visually impaired to have a TTS voice narrate the game for you. This is the "V" key on the keyboard.
  • After unlocking any four endings, the player will be permitted to manually set the in-game time rather than have their system time used. There are six endings accessible in any one timeslot, so this should be easy enough.
  • After unlocking the first ending on a route, the player has three options. They can return to the beginning of the game, to the beginning of the route, or jump immediately to the branching point for that route's other ending. I recommend returning to the beginning of the route, as I put a lot of effort into the results of each choice, but I understand if players are short on time.
  • There will be a spoiler-free text walkthrough included with the game download.

All of this information can also be found on the 'About' page of this site. Information on the characters can be found on the 'Characters' page, of course! My biweekly updates will be announced on my twitter, tumblr, and discord, which can all be found on my Links page. Thank you very much for your time, and I hope you'll all follow along with me as I continue to work hard on this game!

Entropic Float 2: Character Reveal and Kickstarter Date!

  Entropic Float 2... Characters! They're here! The video above shares some songs to help you get the feel on their personalities- And their profiles are available too! I've also been hard at work to get the demo ready before the Kickstarter, which I've decided to launch on 11/11/2023 ! Below, you can see the first talksprite for good ol' Kanatsune Ame. To temper expectations a bit- The demo will only cover the beginning of the game. The 'exposition loop', if you will. Several of these characters won't be appearing yet, and certain loop-related features will, well, not exist because there is no second loop to implement them on. It should, however, give you an idea of what the story's going to be, and how the main point-and-click gameplay will work. Just enough of a taster to let you know that EF2 is worth getting made! And I mean... Even if the Kickstarter fails, I'll make it anyway. It just might take me a good bit longer, and might miss out on some

Entropic Float's One Year Anniversary!

  [Hover images for Credits] One year ago today- On July 7th, 2022- I released the 300k+ word long visual novel Entropic Float: This World Will Decay and Disappear, at no cost on itch and steam. It was a labor of love- I worked on it for just over a year and a half, and my life changed a lot during that time. I got a job related to my degree, then proceeded to crash and burn when it turned out that I couldn't actually manage that job alongside my chronic conditions. Working on Entropic Float was the only thing during that time that really made me happy at all, so it's no surprise I ended up quitting for my health shortly after release... Since I released Entropic Float, lots of things have happened. I've seen it referred to on reddit as 'the queerest game I've ever played'. I've received wonderful fanart. People have come to me saying that the game helped them realize they were physically disabled. My good friend, the vtuber FreyaFukunaga, played through the

Entropic Float in 2023: An Update!

 Happy New Year, everybody!                                                                     It's 2023  and I have a lot of plans! I'll start out by offering reminders that there's a survey to influence the contents of the Entropic Float DLC (Letters To A Beloved Ghost) and make sure that you get to see your favorite characters again, as well as a few pieces of official Entropic Float Merch available on my etsy store.  There are stickers of the full cast, keychains of the protagonists and antagonist, and pin buttons of each standard ending- But if there's a particular piece of merchandise you'd want to see, feel free to contact me and let me know. Entropic Float: Letters To A Beloved Ghost As mentioned above, there's a survey to influence this DLC's content, but that doesn't mean I don't have plans for it! In fact, I already have a few of the side stories drafted. The DLC will be 5 USD or included in any pledge to the Entropic Float 2 Kickstarter
