Introduction:

While searching through my missing friend’s house—he disappeared back in ’04—I was looking for something I thought I had left there and only recently remembered. That’s when I came across an old CD containing an unfinished project they had been working on.

After dusting off my DVD drive, I discovered it was packed with project files: mostly bitmaps, a couple of MIDI tracks, a BASIC script, and detailed notes outlining their plans for the project and how they intended it to end.

This release is my attempt to recreate their lost vision using a modern game engine, as faithfully as I can.

The Fountain: Prelude is, to the best of my understanding, a tribute to 90s creature-feature horror and Evil Dead-style camp, presented as a visual novel. The story follows Trent, Snow, Boris, Jenn, and Ashley as they stumble upon a strange phenomenon in the forest in the middle of the night.

Included is the game—exported to every platform Ren’Py supports—and a detailed PDF devlog documenting the process of adapting and rebuilding the project. Writing the devlog day by day would have cluttered the main page, so it’s collected separately.
