Cinders

We previously covered Moacube‘s beautiful visual novel Cinders almost a year ago, which makes it a bit silly that we’ve missed its release by a few months.
Cinders is a somewhat loose re-telling of the classic fairy tale of Cinderella, with themes of free will added. The game’s story is heavily focused on the various characters, driven more by their individual conversations than the narrative surrounding the Prince’s ball. I wouldn’t call this a bad thing; it makes the narrative more personal, but it does lend it a certain flavor that I’m sure not everyone will find appealing.

Cinders is an upcoming visual novel, set apart from the rest of the genre by… not being anime-inspired, and having gorgeous art production. It’s being developed by the newly formed MoaCube, which is pretty much just a legitimized version of the ArcMagi development team– albeit with the addition of artist and casual games industry veteran Gracjana “Vinegar” Zielinska. The game itself is a retelling of the Cinderella fairytale, travelling the ever popular path of un-Disneyifying classic stories (no word yet on whether there will be third-person shooter sequences). It’s set to be released some time this summer.
The Moacube website also contains development updates on ArcMagi, and has a new site for AM’s predecessor, Magi.
