About the Game

The main characteristic of a visual novel game is achieving immersion by giving the player the ability to influence the story through choices. Every decision, every action the player-reader takes can drastically change the course of the story. The smallest detail can turn out to have an important role to play. In One Day In London you will solve puzzles, perform magical rituals, and carry out special tasks. A sophisticated achievement system will hint at alternative storylines, and a user-friendly save system allows you to move freely within this wonderful story to explore all possible branches.

ATTENTION! The main game includes only the first two chapters. Chapters III through V are sold separately as DLC.

  • exciting finale of the story you create!

The plot

The story is set in the 19th century England during Queen Victoria’s reign. Our main hero is a bored descendant of an aristocratic family who is fascinated by the occult. He becomes an initiate of a secret society by way of a friend’s invitation – and unexpectedly finds that legends are real. He faces the frightening underworld and becomes an unwilling participant in a series of weird events, sudden deaths, and underhanded machinations among humans, demons, and mystical creatures. Of course, a story can’t be complete without a mysterious lady whose past is shrouded in darkness… What outcome awaits our hero? Only time knows… Time and the player’s choice.
