Heart of Snow

Titania was determined to pay him back if it was the last thing she did. Khanda Oscuro, the mage that had murdered her mother and set her on a path for revenge. At least until Lumi showed up, all mischief and smiles. Together they travel across Zaminius seeking adventure and companionship in this medieval fantasy.

Heart of Snow is a kinetic visual novel set primarily in a medieval fantasy version of the Middle East, during the Islamic Golden Age. Here you play as Titania, a snow leopard sword fighter, as she is accompanied by Lumi, a 10-year old human kid. Eventually, you are presented with one choice: to continue seeking revenge to the detriment of all else, or become a mother to Lumi, an orphaned slave, and rebuild what you lost at your mother's death.

I'm the writer/programmer/marketer/SFX Artist/game design lead for Heart of Snow. I am a Brazilian American trying her hand at creating a visual novel. The biggest inspiration for our game is Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn meets Seirei no Moribito (A mother-son anime.) The best part of making this game is writing it because I love getting lost in fantastic pseudo-medieval worlds and I hope you will too!

Hi, my name is Kashi, and I've been obsessed with art since I was seven years old. Every kind of art you can think of like music, movies, games, theater, and, my favorite (of course) illustrations. My interest in art began at seven and I've been studying it more formally only after I was 20.

Hello, my name is Luciana or Luha, the nickname that I am most well known for on the interwebs. I'm Brazilian and a freelance illustrator for the last three years. I've loved drawing since childhood watching cartoons on the TV and trying to recreate comic book characters I read while at the dentist. My love and appreciation for games are very important in my life for introducing me to wonderful, dazzling worlds I, as a rural gal, could never otherwise experience. Their fantastical settings, backdrops, moving music, and emotional stories inspired my little past "me" to chase after a chance to create a story in one of those stories. Through my art, I want to bring it to life.
