About




 Entropic Float is a series of games developed by me, Nico H!




Entropic Float is a series which explores a modern-day fantasy world where magic is considered a scientific force, researched and managed by strange companies and shady government agencies- And specifically, each game takes place in an Anomaly, an unusual geographical disaster caused when somebody's magical Wish is unable to be fulfilled within the usual rules of reality.

The narrative genre? Ontological mystery. The game genre? That's the fun of it. Each game in the Entropic Float series seeks to explore its themes through a new mode of gameplay. The first is a visual novel, the second is a point-and-click adventure, and there are even bigger goals to tell future stories in an exciting new lens.

Of course, if you were hooked by the VN gameplay of the first game, each subsequent game will also have linear story-only game modes which can be toggled on. The goal of Entropic Float is to tell a story, and I want that story to be as accessible as I can make it within my technical and financial limits. You'll never need to 'get good' to experience any of these Anomalies.

Further, the first Entropic Float game is 100% free. Over 300k words of content are available at no cost to you- And if you find yourself hungry for more, but unable to afford it, or for any reason unable to process payment (such as living in a sanctioned country) please reach out. While subsequent games and DLC must cost money for EF to be in any way a sustainable project, my number one goal is still just to create and share. If you need a free copy to continue enjoying my work, don't hesitate to email me at nicohverse@gmail.com .

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 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...

Entropic Float 2 Demo And Kickstarter Launch!

Picture a point-and-click adventure game. Now picture a branching, time-looping ontological mystery visual novel. Entropic Float 2 combines those into its gameplay concept: A point-and-click where you can never solve every puzzle at once. Where you have one key that fits two locks... And the only way to see what's behind the lock you didn't choose is to die, repeat the day, and try something different this time. With only you and your protagonist aware of the loop, seek an answer that earns new information. Through trial and error, solutions and murder... Can you find the way through this new Anomaly? In early 2021, I started working on a project just for fun. Using the character creator and scene assembly tools of Illusion's Koikatsu, paired with the visual novel engine ren'py, I decided to learn to make a VN. A year and a half, over three hundred thousand words, and quite a bit of pocket money later, I released 'Entropic Float: This World Will Decay And Disappear...
