Villienville: Echoes of Deception is a narrative role-playing game about the fate of mercenary Vesper, who by fate finds himself in the mysterious village: Villienville. You will have to investigate who benefits from the appearance of mysterious "ghosts" and help the locals to protect their homes from an unknown enemy. But make your choices carefully - any mistake can lead to terrible consequences! Wounded during the fulfillment of the contract to protect the caravan, Vesper decided to stay for treatment in the first village he found. However, everything turned out to be not so simple and the hero will have to investigate the appearance of mystical "ghosts", gaining the trust of the locals, the church and nomads. In this cruel medieval world no one forgives mistakes, so you need to think carefully about the consequences of your own actions!

Character Relationships A multitude of characters, each of which can help solve the mystery of Villienville and protect the village, though you'll have to earn their trust to do so. Villagers, nomads, bandits and churchmen - each of them will require their own special approach!

Interactive Story The game is divided into two different chapters. In the first one, Vesper will have to investigate with a real court, and in the second one he will have to engage in a battle with an as yet unknown enemy. The hero's actions in the first chapter will significantly affect the course of events in the second, and each choice can lead to completely unpredictable consequences.

Different endings There are 11 different winning endings in the game, not counting the losing and early endings. Although, no one forbids you to leave Villenville at the end of the first chapter, you will have to thoroughly explore the world of the game and all possible variants of events to discover all the winning endings.
