Description

Wishlisting us on steam helps a lot!

**Warning, this game deals with mature content and themes.**


Five axolotls appear one day through a void, their entire existence shrouded in mystery. A story chock-full of surprises, best experienced blind.

Taking place in a tank suspended upon a cosmic wonderland, five axolotls appear one day from a mysterious, thundering void. They quickly learn they are able to speak with one another, and relationships are formed. However, something is off. Each axolotl seems to possess knowledge they should not know. Foods, and people, and places and concepts...

And obsessions.

Amid conspiracies, illness', fights to the death, VR headsets, and bizarre reality switching, a figure named [RB] seems to be pulling the strings behind it all.

Features

    •A mystery with over 10 hours of content. Surprises await ye' at every turn traveler!
    •Press ‘S’ at various points in the story to perform the world's greatest somersault! I cannot overstate this: THE WORLD'S GREATEST SOMERSAULT! Axy worked quite hard to gain that title, you know.
    •Choose carefully! There will be at least one choice in the game, maybe two choices, perhaps even fifty choices!!! But none of which will affect your playthrough whatsoever, so don't worry about them and ignore this bullet point.
    •Dynamic movements bursting with personality and tweens! Each scene is handcrafted with care and love, and none look the same. The screenshots do not do it justice!
    •Maybe a funny thing like a giant axolotl... or maybe an axolotl cosplaying as human? Some mildly funny or maybe even moderately funny thing might happen when intense plot beats aren't occurring! Sometimes they might even happen while they're occurring! :O 
    •We have an OST! It's really great! 3 people worked on it, including the author!
    • There's a Breaking Bad reference, an Umineko reference, and a Rugrats reference... Has this holy trinity ever been referenced before in one piece of media?

Surely, there are many things that can be said, but RB: Axolotl is unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. 

This is an emotional tale that I built with all the passion and love in my heart.

Despite its cute art style, the visual novel RB: Axolotl is intended for mature audiences only.
