Hierofania 2
A downloadable interactive story for Windows, macOS, and Linux
The Goddess of the Waves was a deity of modest powers, and an even more modest range of influence.
She helped fishermen and sailors to find their way home, even through the thickest fog, through the fiercest storms.
Now she is dead. There are no stories left to tell about her
Queen Stephania was a fierce woman, an unhappy woman.
She rose higher than people thought she could. But her triumph had a bitter aftertaste, as it left her ruling over those she despised.
Now she is dead. There are no stories left to tell about her.
Queen Caramela was raised by a fierce, unhappy woman, and lived under the influence of a deity of modest powers.
All she wants is to keep harmful things at a distance, to live for beauty and fun, for things to continue as they are. She won't get her wish.
She lives. This is her story.

The trailer alone is inspiring and breathtaking
Thank you very much! It was my first shot at trying to animate something... And remains my longest one :)
Hi, I absolutely love your work with H1 and H2, would have left a comment in H1's page if I could. I am so in love with the world-building, characters, art, music, story, everything! Honestly these are some of the best VNs I've ever read, and I can't wait for H3. More accurately, I wouldn't mind waiting a century for H3 because I know it's going going to be worth it. Keep up the good work!
Side note: I would appreciate a walkthrough because I'm having trouble getting some of them (╥_╥) So far I've gotten Shadowed, Hardworking, Isolated, Neutral, and Peacekeeping. Also, it would be great if the next games have a CG gallery and music box function.
You gave me a meme. You gave me a meme! It's my first!!!
Please excuse me while I bask a little on my hipness and popularity with today's youth.
Ok, that's it, I basked for three whole days, now let me go on.
Thank you so much for your words, for your support. It means a lot.
To tell the truth, Hierofanía 2 got less comments that Hierofanía 1, so... well, I try not to be too whiny (being somewhat whiny is unavoidable, it's in my nature) but when you work alone, staying motivated is all on you, you know? I'm not a team, it's just me. My games are freeware, they always will be. My payment is this, once in a while, someone tells me they liked my work, that they read and they remember it.
Today I'm a millionaire. Thank you.
Hi there! I know this is not said enough but I love your games! The first one I played was Hierofania and it was at the urging of my friend but I fell in love with your writing and continued to play your other titles.
Not only you have a captivating and unique art style, I also love your writing, you always kept the story very engaging and interesting! I absolutely adored the soundtrack too, it's always one of the first reasons which make me wanted to the game.
Thank you for your hard work in creating such beautiful games and I hope you will continue to make even more in the future, your games always give me pleasant memories to return to whenever I revisit them.
Thank you so very much for leaving feedback! You're super kind.
(I'm super flattered that you mention the soundtrack because Hierofanía 2 was my first attempt at trying to make music ^^)
Although Hierofanía 3 is in hiatus, I actually have the script for another project on the works! Knowing there's people willing to play it, makes me happy.
Seriously, thanks for your kind words.
This was surprisingly good. The story was interesting and easy to follow considering I didn't play the first game. I wish you did give more than two options for choices. But it adds to the fun in a way. I ended up with four different endings before I stopped myself. I think there's around 8 in total?
Yes, there are eight endings! (One is a short "Bad ending!" at the very beginning)
I really wanted H2 to be easy to understand without playing H1, so thanks a lot for telling me you were okay with it. :) (I mean, I wrote it, so it's hard for me to approach it without preconceptions!)
For the third, though, people will have to play both 1 and 2, but it'll be the last, so, I hope they'll be willing to take that step :D
