Ren'Py is a free, 2D, and cross-platform engine that helps you make story-based games including visual novels and simulation games. It uses a scripting language based on Python.

So, let's start with the fact that the game will be free and available on IndieDB, itch.io and VK Play for Russian-speaking players.
The game supports English and Russian, but it is only available for Windows at the moment. It is planned for Android in the future as well.
The game is completely open source, allowing developers at RenPy to use parts of it for their own development.
Now, about the game itself: it's a point-and-click adventure with visual novel elements, trying to mimic the Rusty Lake games as closely as possible. There are plenty of puzzles waiting for you in this game!
The story revolves around Helen and her psychological issues. There are three rooms available with four armrests each. This is a huge game with lots of hours of gameplay, mini-games, and quests. Your main goal is to collect five animal masks, each one leading to a chain of puzzles.For example, obtaining the devil's mask requires defeating seven deadly sins. Defeating each of them is a chain of puzzles, and it is another challenge. Let's move on to what has already been done:
- 6 characters, including the main character
- Quests of Pride, Gluttony, Envy, Greed, and Anger
- A non-stop debate mini-game (like in Danganronpa)
- A quiz mini-game
- A mini game of honesty check
- Mini game Synonyms
- Rock-paper-scissors mini-game
- Inventory system
- A conversation with ??? (as in Until Dawn)
- and much more!
This is just a small part of the game, about 19% of it. It is difficult to create such a project by yourself. Only this small part has already taken 6,000 lines of code, and a lot of time was spent on drawing. I will be very happy if you wait for this game. It's my second project, and I hope you enjoy it. See you later!

Hey, can someone help me with the Ren'Py engine? It's just that everytime I type new code into the script.rpy, I get an error saying "Tab characters are not allowed in Ren'py scripts." Can someone help me?
Could you show me the code? If it's code that's trying to define an item like "image nblnk = im.Scale("nblnk.png", 320, 575)", that HUGE space you see right there after "image nblnk" is a tab space (EDIT: Okay, so indiedb takes out the space, but the space is as big as when you hit tab in the script editor). Usually it changes tabs into spaces but when defining something if you use Tab it marks it as an error. If it's not that that's the issue, show me a bit of the code and I can work on it for ya.
Make sure every line of code defining something only has one space between each variable, like so:
"variable nickname = "realname.filetype", where variable is the type of file or action, such as image, play music, play sound, or with (EDIT: with is used in other places, NOT with an "=" sign. My bad. the "play music" or "play sound" however are almost like that, just without the "=" sign). If you don't know what those are, the engine itself when downloaded has a tutorial game that explains pretty much everything (except the more complex errors.) This is just an add-on to what I said above, if it still doesn't fix it, I'll gladly check your code.
If this place is inappropriate to say this, please forgive me and delete the comment. If not, I would be very happy if it actually helps: I am planning on releasing a couple of longer stories as visual novels.. games, with this engine. I am a writer mainly, and not the best artist. I would love if, if someone is an artist or has interest and experience in the creation of artwork, would be interested in working with me, they could contact me via PM.
Again, I apologize if this is not the correct place to post this, but on the forums things like that are lost within hours with no results so I figured I would try my luck here.
Thanks in advance. I love this engine :)
I wouldnt mind helping with the artwork! You can reach me at Lucr3tcia.deviant art.com and we can talk about it xD
ren'py engine. Whoever has played a game similar to this engine, please send me a message. It sounds very familiar.
(dark humor laugh)
its a bit saddening to see many ren'py games releasing with a price up to $20, even when the arts, story, and or "gameplay" is not that good.
-not to be compared, look at Katawa Shoujo being one of the greatest, yet totally free
Yes.
how download engines sorry im new cant see download :L
Go to Renpy.org and look at "How do I get Ren'Py?"
