Iridescence is a new visual novel about mythology

• Iridescence is a newly-released visual novel from Neonight
• It sees you guiding a strange girl named Ayasal back to the sea
• It’s a mythology-infused story with plenty of twists and turns to enjoy

The visual novel genre has a surprisingly strong presence on mobile. While it’s often written off as otaku wish fulfilment or fuel for comedy on other platforms the interactive nature of visual novels seems to fit very well on smartphones. So if you’re a fan and looking for a new entry to enjoy, maybe today’s subject Iridescence is what you’re searching for?

The setup is that you are living on a serene Mediterranean Island when you meet a mysterious girl called Ayasal. Who is she, and why is she here? If you guessed mermaid well you’re likely correct, but either way your job is to help this enigmatic figure find her way back to the sea.

Gameplay-wise if you’ve played a visual novel you know what to expect, and with plenty of hand-drawn art, collectibles to uncover, trophies to acquire and more there’s plenty to be had in Iridescence.

Talking lobsters ahoy

Yes, Iridescence is one of those excellent little releases that’s very straightforward to discuss. Although the only sticking point I can imagine for most of you is that it doesn’t do quite enough to break out of the cutesy anime art style that visual novels are mostly known for.

But for a team of indie developers, Iridescence looks to be a well-put-together release. With plenty of original gameplay and art to enjoy, whether or not you’re a devout visual novel player this could still very much be worth a look.

Meanwhile, if you’re looking for another series of visual novels that breaks the mould a bit why not take a look at the Methods series? This episodic release offers a more stylised approach to its art and an intriguing thriller storyline for those of you who find wonder and whimsy a bit childish.
