Convict Games, the developer behind the Aussie Stoner Noir game, STONE, has announced its latest project, 𝕭𝖀𝕽𝕹. This is a short and replayable visual novel where players take on the role of Nina 𝕭𝖀𝕽𝕹, the biggest pop star in the world, at a critical juncture in her career. The game features 16 endings, and players can unlock the full story by replaying the game and making different choices. 𝕭𝖀𝕽𝕹 is Convict Games' most interactive story to date, with the first ending arriving in just 15 minutes, making it accessible for everyone to finish at least once.

The game follows Nina 𝕭𝖀𝕽𝕹's life in three acts, from her debut at 16, establishment at 24, and climax at 27. The story is adapted every play, with dialogue choices affecting Nina's style, dialogue, the adaptive musical score, and resulting in 16 potential outcomes. 𝕭𝖀𝕽𝕹 is not a 3D adventure game but an interactive story with high-quality animations and voice-over that adjust based on the player's choices.

One unique feature of 𝕭𝖀𝕽𝕹 is that players never hear the music Nina creates, which is instead replaced by a composed soundtrack of multiple genres by Joonas Turner, creator of Tormentor X Punisher and audio from Broforce, Noita, Nuclear Throne, and more. The composed score changes genres based on the player's choices, creating a different atmosphere that gets lighter or darker with each replay.

The core development team for 𝕭𝖀𝕽𝕹 consists of five team members, including Gregory Louden (Writer + Director), Francois Bourdin (Art + Animation), Susanna Tikkanen (Actor + Editor), and Joonas Turner (Audio + Music). Convict Games has been creating games since 2017, with a remote team of experienced
