Iridescence is a new visual novel about mythology

Iridescence, Neonight's latest visual novel, casts you as the guide for Ayasal, a mysterious girl yearning for the sea. This mythology-rich narrative is packed with unexpected twists and turns.

Mobile gaming is surprisingly well-suited to the visual novel format. Often dismissed elsewhere, the interactive storytelling of visual novels translates seamlessly to smartphones. If you're a fan seeking a new adventure, Iridescence might be your next obsession.

The game begins on a tranquil Mediterranean island where you encounter the enigmatic Ayasal. Unravel her identity and purpose. While her mermaid origins might be easily guessed, your mission is to help her return to the ocean.

Gameplay is typical of the visual novel genre. Iridescence features beautifully hand-drawn art, hidden collectibles, and achievable trophies, offering a rich and rewarding experience.

Iridescence is a delightful and straightforward game to review. The only potential drawback might be its adherence to the familiar, cute anime art style common in visual novels.

However, for an indie development team, Iridescence is remarkably polished. With original gameplay and artwork, it's a worthwhile experience even for those who aren't dedicated visual novel enthusiasts.

For players seeking a departure from the typical visual novel aesthetic, consider the Methods series. This episodic release boasts a more stylized art style and a captivating thriller plot, offering a mature alternative to lighter fare.
