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 Biweekly Update #12

   Time for Update Twelve. The art this week was commissioned from  Niina on skeb! Not the most relevant image this time, since Peri doesn't actually appear in any of the Rashmi routes... But she's adorable, so don't hold it against me, okay? You also shouldn't hold it against me because, for all but the first two days after my previous update, I've had covid. Omicron's infectivity really is off the charts, and I'm a fragile person, so of course I had loads of symptoms. Nothing serious in the end, thanks to my triple vaccine, and my brainfog's cleared up over the past few days, so I still have some progress to share! Writing: 48/54 segments... That's right, despite spending most of my time sick, working from home during moments of clarity and playing video games during moments of utter fog... I actually wrote the entire Rashmi Noon Route. A big chunk of that was immediately following the last update, but I still doubled my goal of three segments... S...

EF2 May Update 2: Farewell For Now!

  Hello everybody! Welcome to the 5/31 update, the second May update, the final update before the update hiatus begins! And what have I accomplished since the first May update? Not a whole lot, honestly! Attending a large convention is fun but exhausting (Got a little con plague, too), so almost all of the energy I had left went toward working on commissions from etsy. No part of the Kickstarter budget included wages for my time working on the game, so unfortunately, I must still prioritize other work! Even so, ‘not a whole lot’ isn’t the same as ‘nothing at all’! Let’s look at last update’s goals: Finish at least 3 of those Area 4 Backgrounds: This one didn’t happen. All the time I’ve been able to spend at my desk has gone into commissions this period. Sketch some subprimary backgrounds for the areas already done: This one, however, did happen! I sketched all those subprimary backgrounds and even one of the backgrounds for Area 5. The wonders of the sketches being possible anywher...
