Chronotopia: Second Skin is a dark fairytale visual novel.
The young Donkeyskin lives a peaceful existence in her castle, enjoying her days with her best friend and confidant, Nahima. That is until her father, gone mad since the death of his beloved, decides he should wed the princess instead. Donkeyskin has to find a way to escape from this fate, but how? She doesn't know it yet, but it's the beginning of a long nightmare that will take her to the edge of madness...
Last time I introduced prince Thalie and his cool cape, so let’s move on to the last candidate: Genèse!
Genèse is the prince of Chronotopia's D route and lives so far away that’s he’s actually ruling the kingdom of a different country. If that’s not a change of pace, I don’t know what is!

And since there was no radio or newspaper in the Middle Ages (let alone Internet), he also spread rumors and news about the various locations he visits. Georges actually appears in several routes of Chronotopia: Second Skin and is a precious source of information for Kionna.
God bless you Georges for being the good version of the internet!
And that’s the end of the routes presentation. For obvious reasons, I won’t tackle the endings as I don’t want to say too much: writing those posts without spoiling was already hard enough.
Last time we talked about dynamic shots, let’s backtrack a bit to bring up polishing in general…and background animations in particular!
Last time I introduced prince Griselde and his subliminal dagger, so let’s move on to the next candidate: prince Thalie!
At first I did not plan to write about programming at all, but then it struck me during the Kickstarter campaign that it was actually a much needed talk...
As I mentioned last time, Chronotopia: Second Skin is divided in several routes, each corresponding to a different strategy to escape the castle. What...
