Heyo, I'm Sleepy from EXP-resso Mutt! I wanted to share a point-and-click steampunk horror visual novel we've been working on called "Camera Anima"! It's about twin sisters, floating islands, and a soul-stealing automaton who takes the souls of those who meet his face. If you're interested in what it looks like, check our trailer and demo link below:

SUMMARY
“One, two, the bell tolls late
“Three, four, don’t forget your Face
"Five, six, don’t stay out late
"Seven, eight, don’t meet his face
"Nine, ten, never wake again”
Camera Anima is a point-and-click visual novel game about twin sisters, a series of serial killings stretching across decades, and an automaton who takes the souls of those who meet its face.
On the Floating Isles of Awyr, citizens live in a society where their livelihoods and social status are defined by the masks or “Faces” they wear. Though attitudes are slowly changing towards the Face-system, there are rumors that those who wander the streets at night without a Face become prey to the Artisan, doomed to turn up as a stylistically arranged corpse.
You take control of Essie Flaversham, whose twin sister is taken by the Artisan. Pursue the Artisan, unravel the history behind them, and save your sister before it's too late.
