Zero End 0.1.3c
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Zero(0) End is a story-driven adult visual novel with interactive fiction mechanics, like a stat progression system, a type of class system, and a branching narrative. Additional combat and puzzle solving mechanics intended for future releases.
You play as the unconventional magician Caleb Watson--a man with an uncontrollable desire to get to the truth, no matter the cost. But will you be able to pay that cost when the time comes?
Zero End is a paranormal mystery inspired by things like Hellblazer, World of Darkness, Divi-Dead, Creepypasta, and grimoire magic among others.
Notes:
- No plans for the following: NTR/Sharing, Harem, Incest, Futa/Trans. FFM is on the table, but for the most part it's a more romance-focused game.
- Main character cannot be named by the player.

O primeiro episódio e sobre a história do Caleb, então os outros capítulos contará a história de outros personagens principais eventualmente
Same characters until the last chapter
muito obrigado
Olá, essa história e de 5 capítulos cada um com uma história diferente e?
Can You please upload walkthrough file because I'm stuck at gathering information and was only able to collect 70% info. It would be really helpful if anyone can guide me. Please Please.
The minimum to progress is 60%, you should be ok to go. The percentage won't change, so you can get it to 100% in replays, if you want to. 100% first run isn't impossible, but it depends a lot on your stats.
I'm just stuck in puzzle. Can you please tell how to progress further or end the puzzle or where to go to get out or something. I think i roamed every room. It's the info gathering from chapter one. Or is there any particular location I have to go to progress the story ?
2nd floor, click on the curtains
I did click on curtains on 2nd floor in Marie's room but nothing.
Up the stairs, left, left, left, click on curtains
I have just finished chapter 1 and seen all the endings but not all the content yet. From the music choices, decent character models (both sexes), pacing, RPG elements, gameplay and story were excellent.
I can tell you put a lot of effect and love into all aspects of this visual novel. I can't wait to play more chapters.
This is seriously one of the best urban fantasy VN.
Could you upload the file on some other website as an alternative? Mega has a limit and may not be always reliable. I failed in downloading it from Mega and then they told me that in order to try downloading it again within the month I would need to pay for a subscription.
Done for Win/Lin. The Mac version is giving me headaches, so I'll try some other time
Many thanks for your responding to my request. I have been interested in your game for a while and I look forward to trying it out.
Could you upload the files on Pixeldrain, too?🥺 Mega has the limit.

Alguém sabe como passa do segundo enigma???
This is definitely among my top 10. I love the setting, the characters and the mechanics, but I have a question. Are there more endings besides the 2 that I got (I won't say in case it's a spoiler) or are there more?
Only one ending with two variations (with or without the love interest). The other path (with the infiltration sequence) continues the story.
Ok, I didn't know about the love interest, it's time to play again, thanks
whats the song when you first go to class
This one?
Is this the latest build, or is that only on patreon?
It's the latest build as of right now. Day 3 is close, but not quite finished yet.
I forgot to warn you, Patreon, in some countries the website doesn't work, I swear I don't know why, for example, here in Brazil, both the official website and the application itself don't work, I just came to let you know, so This does not interfere with collecting profits for the game, I recommend that when you have time to spare, you use some other alternative means, to facilitate the means of raising money and funds for your project, thank you very much once again, I'm sorry for the I bother you hehe
Ah, I didn't know that. I did hear there's some legal problems over there with adult content, but I don't know any details. Either way, it'll be out on Steam, so that should be fine (I hope?)
I thank you from my heart, thank you very much for your kindness and your warrior time, I understand the difficulty you are going through at the moment, I thank you for being kind and responding to me, I wish from the bottom of my heart the best of luck for you, and please, rest well too, I know you work hard and put a lot of passion into what you do, but please, prioritize your health, your well-being is more important than anything, you will have time to focus on your projects later , so please rest well, a rested mind leads to a rested body and greater well-being, of course this will also result in better development, thank you very much once again for everything, and don't worry about the game's localization, I'm sure people from Brazil can do a good translation of the game and while it hasn't been translated yet, regarding the issue of the Android version, I understand well, on Android it's really difficult to port it in a way that works well, so, I wish you good luck once again, and a thank you from a fan of your work from Brazil, rest well, and use this time to get your mind and your life in order, I'm sure it will be worth waiting longer to a well-made game, and of course for an artist to be able to create his art in a way full of passion and pride, thank you very much, see you later, a huge hug from a fan of yours from Brazil!! 😄
Thanks so much for your kind words. I am trying to care for my health and not burn out as there's still three more chapters of the game left, so I need to pace myself.
As far as I know, there is an unofficial translation into Portuguese, but I can't tell if it's Brazilian Portuguese or not. I don't really have a source for it either, but I saw this video:
Maybe that helps. I can't vouch for the translation or safety of it, so do be careful.
Hope you're having a wonderful day!
hi how are you?, my name is Israel, I'm Brazilian, I played the latest version of the game, and I simply loved the game, I've played several games in this +18 style, with all kinds of themes, and personally this is the game best done and most interesting game I've ever played in my life, although it's short, the path you're following with it is great, but I confess that, continuity and I, we would be happier to know news about the game, how the game is going development process, or even a possible version for Android, with several languages, including mine "laughs", I'm very happy with the game, and I wanted to give you some tips, open a campaign on support or onlyfans, create a Instagram, or a YouTube channel, you know?, my wish is that you can promote and engage and create an even bigger community for the game, it is very little accessed, and still little known, if you promote this, not only will it attract more fan for the game, but it will also attract more people who will support and help with the profit of the game, thus making its development better, and making your work easier my dear warrior, you might even be able to get people to help you with the project personally understand?, so my wish here is that you have great luck with the game and that you don't give up on it, I'm sure it will be worth it, I can see how much you dedicated yourself and put your passion into creating this game, I I really want you to continue with your wonderful work, that's why I came here to send you a message of affection as a fan of your work in the game, and as someone who wants to help you by giving you a few tips, in advance, I thank you very much for your attention , I apologize if I said something that was offensive, or strange, I'm using the translator to type this message, so it must be full of errors and flaws, but know that I just came here to wish you some love, and to give support to the developer of this wonderful game, so a big hug from a fan of yours from Brazil!, thank you very much in advance, bye bye, see you later, please don't give up! 😄
Hello! Glad you liked the game. I have a Patreon account (link in the description of the game) where I post development updates, content previews, special renders, and a bunch of other stuff.
Android version is a possibility in the future, but it requires a lot of testing as different devices have different aspect ratios. If I do release an Android version, it'll have to be well done.
I'd love to promote the game more, but I've been working 12 hours/day for the last year and a half. I'm beyond exhausted. For now, I'm focused on getting it on Steam.
Localization isn't a priority right now, unfortunately. It costs a lot and I am currently standing at -$1500 profit, meaning I'm literally paying money to make the game. It's a future plan, but right now I can't handle the cost.
Thanks a lot for the kind words of support!
Chapter 1...
Quicksilver playing in the club was the moment I realized we're supposed to let a scene play out before pressing space/enter/left-click when the text box is blank. 😐
More imporantly, that track was dope. 🤘🏿
Congrats on making some genuinely hot female characters. None of the males are (so far), but the women have great design and I love some of their outfits. Excellent.
So~ I selected the choice that led to this sex scene thinking it would be... ya know... exactly what it said on-screen. As someone who doesn't go to such things (avoiding minor spoilers), I very well could just not be aware of a cultural norm at them. Is that the case here (and I'm just out of the loop) or are you going somewhere with this?
Honestly would've been nice to opt out of it at the last moment. >.>
Just finished Chapter 1.
Any chance of the soundtrack's playlist being uploaded somewhere?Found it on YouTube. 🙌🏿Glad you liked the girls. With the males, I don't think I'm qualified to make some attractive ones. I did ask for help to design Invictus from a female friend and she finds him attractive, but it might just be her tastes.
I will be retroactively adding a NSFW tag to choices that lead to that type of content with the next release.
There's still one more release (working on it) to close up chapter 1 of the story.
Highly recommend sticking with this method for every character you don't feel qualified to design.
Never even thought of a NSFW tag. 🤔 Yeah, that'll probably work, especially with her "skip it" line.
Quick question regarding that sex scene, how much did it affect my route/playthrough? I’m suddenly regretting not just backing out of that mistake and am considering reloading the save. 😬
Not sure, depends on what route you're on. There will be some content that will be different because of that choice, but nothing massive that will make or break a route. Might lose points with some characters
Well, guess I’ll reload. 🤷🏿♂️ edit: Well, that was quite different.
Is there a specific place you'd like uncaught exceptions (traceback bug reports) posted? I get one when opening the Key Items menu (for the first time, btw) after deciding to approach the pixie girl in the library.
edit:
Suggestion: Put in the description that the game contains female-on-male sexual assault. 😐
"Is there a specific place you'd like uncaught exceptions (traceback bug reports) posted?"
Probably easiest on Discord. The issue is already fixed. I'll drop the fix with the next update since it isn't a critical bug.
"Suggestion: Put in the description that the game contains female-on-male sexual assault."
It'll be retconned into just assault in the next release. I was trying to do something there that didn't quite land.
Is there a demo for this game? Is it finished? Will updates be free with purchase?
There isn't. No, it's Day 2/~12. Only for the first chapter (another release).
Mas preciso de ajuda com o enigma depois das luzes
Second puzzle: SONG Third: Carcosa
Comecei a jogar zero end recentemente e estou empacado no primeiro puzzle e coloco o codigo que vc pois e ñ da certo,poderia me ajudar?
The lights puzzle? From highest to lowest.
Song
I have to say, this visual novel surprised me in a very pleasant way. I was unpretentiously looking for some VN to play and came across this one. It being something more focused on romance, having the paranormal genre and these mechanics really made me curious, and I'm glad I accepted my curiosity, the story is really interesting to me.
I also found the characters quite likeable for their personalities, kinda extreme with some, but not in a bad way for me (my favorite female character so far was Alice).
I hope you keep up the good work you've been doing so far!
Glad you liked it! I hope I can live up to the praise in the future. Exciting stuff to come
I do not get the sigil puzzle
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigpen_cipher
Thank you
como vc passou?
I'd good
Steam release?
With the 3rd release, hopefully
I loved the life you put into each of the characters. The MC and his roommate steal the show so far (edit: and the pixie, hell how could I forget that one) - hard to explain why. Their personalities sit on extremes, but don't feel either forced or annoying to me. It just flows. Then there's the Brandon vision which just amused the fuck outta me. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this one. Good luck!
Funny you should say that... I think you'll enjoy day 2.
Glad to have you on board!
Are you still active in development ima be honest i hope so this shit is good
Thanks! Glad you like it. Yes, the game is in active development and fairly close to a Day 2 release
I like SLG with NTR multi choice<trans oldtip="I like SLG with NTR multi choice" newtip="我喜欢带NTR多选的SLG"></trans>
???
Good AVN, good characterization, decent writing and took a lot of elements from all the others great AVN out there (Being a DIK, Leap of faith and others). I'm considering support this project. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! I'm really glad you enjoyed the experience and hope you'll stick around to see the whole story. There's plenty more to come
Cool
What about character profile?
Hello! The Character Profile and Log can be accessed from the triangular logo to the left of the textbox. I'm going to be surfacing it better in the future.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
This is pretty neat and ill definitely be keeping an eye on how it develops(im a sucker for more romanced focused games, they tend to have more effort put into the narrative). I do however hope you'll allow the player to determine the MC's first name(a established surname no issue at all but many players like me would much prefer and appreciate letting us choose the MC's first name).Anyway good luck with this project.
Thank you for your kind words! I'm sure somebody will mod this in(as far as I know, the unofficial android port has that), but it is not the intended experience. The main character has a very distinct past and personality--it wouldn't work for the player to project onto the protagonist. Hope that's informative and hope you can enjoy the story nonetheless.
> The main character has a very distinct past and personality--it wouldn't work for the player to project onto the protagonist
Gonna recommend saying basically that in the game's full description. Could be a selling point for some players.
like the game i'm fan of ntr/sharing content. hope it makes it into the game.
There are no plans for NTR/Sharing for this project. I realize this may put some people off, but I hope you can still enjoy the story nonetheless.
good luck with your game then. hope it someday makes its way to steam, i buy it there if and when.
Thank you! The current release is Day 1 out of the 3 that will be chapter 1 of the story. Once a chapter is completed, it will be launched on Steam. Hope that helps!
No plans for the following: NTR/Sharing, Harem, Incest, Futa/Trans. FFM is on the table, but for the most part it's a more romance-focused game.
Gonna recommend saying this in the full description too, or just making this one part of a devblog post explaining the future plans or something.
That may be helpful, yes. Thank you, I'll update the description.
