The Nameless Braves is a kinetic-style Visual Novel. A linear story that will be updated in "Episodes" and "Books".
An "Episode" is a release, essentially. Episode 1 is approximately a 3-5 hour read depending on your speed. A "Book" is the equivalent of a show season. Episodes 1-4 can be considered Acts or Parts of a singular story chunk.
Set in the fantasy continent of Ankh-Seah during a dour era referred to as "The Dark Age", one young man strives through trials and heartbreak to accomplish his dream of becoming a hero.
You will follow the story of Elijah, a rookie member of a mercenary organization known as "The Braves". The lands of Ankh-Seah are wrought with dangers both human and inhuman.
Elijah and his allies will be pit against the various threats that creep in the shadows of Ankh-Seah, uncovering secrets while being forced to confront harsh truths about their world and even themselves.
