FETISHES:

I’m Naarel! Ever since I was a child, I loved writing stories and sharing them with others. My search for the perfect way to tell all the stories I wanted to tell took me on a journey through various places: prose, poetry, interactive fiction and finally, visual novels. You’re here for the latter. 

Moved by spite and sheer audacity Inspired by various cryptic dreams I had, the liminality of the endless fields of Polish villages and surrounding little towns I began writing in the Oneiron universe in early 2021. Back then, it was an interactive fiction project. A year later I participated in the first Amare Jam, encouraged by the Amare Dev community, and since then, I fell in love with VN deving, participated in many more jams and met incredible, talented people. 

And so, I continue to write the Oneironverse down, with all of its rich lore, dream-like atmosphere, endless secrets and, above all: the wide range of love and relationships. I’d summarize my style as casual magic – a place where the supernatural is an extension of the ordinary and the personal drama mirrors the otherworldly threats. Feel free to check if it’s your thing too.

See you in Ivehorn.
