Loretta - is a psychological thriller that makes the player an accessory to the heroine’s crimes, leading her through a self-crafted nightmare. Loretta’s story revolves around a woman handling betrayal, her husband’s infidelity, and reclaiming her agency during the socially tumultuous 1940s.

Story

The year is 1947. Lora and Walter Harris move to a farm, which used to belong to his parents. Walter is a writer and Lora is a housewife. Both are quite unsuccessful.

The family is going through financial difficulties. The situation is also complicated by the fact that Walter owes money to people from New York. And although the husband keeps it a secret from his wife, Lora has a suspicion. Moreover, she suspects him of cheating.

Lora understands that she gave up her job, her dreams and other opportunities for her failure of a husband she doesn’t even love. Now she is stuck in a cold empty house barely making ends meet.

As she struggles to make loan payments, she finds out that Walter’s publishing house has insured his life. In the event of his death, the insurance sum would be 30.000$. A plan is born in Lora’s mind.

Random thought but the game really reminds me of Carrie. I love it, waiting to see what's next for this game! ♡ 

I really love the style of the game and found it very intriguing the mulitple "murder weapons" around the house. The puzzles/minigames I found was difficult to understand at first and took me a couple of times to even understand what to do. I will also say that at the gas station I was confused becuase I had no clue what to do before I realized "press A or D to move". 


I am excited to see how the game will progress as I really found it interesting and love the mulitple "endings".

The story was very interesting, just like a movie. Very much looking forward to more!

ストーリーがまるで映画のようでとてもおもしろかったです。続きがとても楽しみです!

I am super excited for this stilL!

Full Demo No Commentary 

I enjoyed the game but it would have been helpful in certain puzzle areas to know what you're doing as it was at first confusing.  Also you may want to edit out the copyrighted music clip Charmaine as currently you cannot claim full creatorship for your game or perhaps won't be able to gain money for it either also folks on youtube can't gain any money either from ads playing due to this copyrighted music that you added.  Just a heads up.  

But otherwise you've created a very interesting game that reads like a novel that transported me to the hard, gritty land and time of the era.  And I began to really feel for Loretta and wanted her life to be better and I am happy to see that we have choices to change the course.  I love how you also brought in a bit of horror fantasy to the game also.  This is story I can't wait for you to finish!

Hey!  Thanks for your feedback! And thank you for bringing attention to Charmaine.  Since all the music that is used in the game is either written by me or in the public domain.  But! To argue with YouTube in such things, in my opinion, is pointless.  I have already reworked some of the music for the main game. As well as documentation. I will upload a new version of the game soon.  Thanks!

I am excited for this game to be released/finished. I just love the overall concept and aspect of the game. I way that the demo is laid out makes you wonder how and what made Loretta this way, yeah it gives you a glimpse but I feel like there is more to the story than what is depicted. I really want to see how the story plays out. I highly recommend others to play the game!

I love the style of this game, really reminds me of games like Sally Face. I have it wishlisted & can’t wait to see the final product. This is the first game I played in this video.

I went to play the older demo and thought I'd check the itch page and discovered a fresh new demo yesterday! I really like your game btw.I went and wishlisted it on Steam too.

Hey y'all, Yakov here!

I would like to present to you a New DEMO of Loretta.

With m

any-many new content!

Loretta is a psychological thriller that would make the player an accessory to the

heroine’s crimes and would lead her through a self-crafted nightmare. This story is about a woman, dealing with betrayal, her husband’s infidelity, relationships problems and the difficult social situation of the 1940s. Please feel free to share with your friends, add Loretta to the wishlist, and leave your feedback!

You could make an entire series based off these 3 minutes. Super effective.

Wow!

A very promising project! The first game of "DOM RUSALOK" brought a lot of positive emotions! I am very much looking forward to the release of this project!

First of, I loved the game, the story is amazing and it has a really interesting atmosphere! But for the love of god take out the "story" of the front page, it ruins the surprise and the twist! This game could have been so much better if I had known nothing about it (I read a little of the story but realized it was showing too much so I stop reading and jumped to play). Let the game show the story, don't explain it in its totality to the soon to be player in your front page.

A game with an atmosphere

Hi guys! Thank you, I so happy, that you enjoyed the piece of Loretta. I just want to say that I'm working on a game and very soon there will be a  Steam-page etc. We do not say goodbye! 

This is just the beginning: 3

I loved this! Great style and just a feeling of impending doom like waiting for the other shoe to drop!

I was able to get quite a few endings and i'd LOVE to see how other people dealt with the detective! Play this visual novel game and discover what happened in LORETTA!

Here's my playthrough for ALL to explore, Enjoy!

This is fantastic! It's like a horror murder mystery with different outcomes depends on your choice. I only came back to read the game description after my playthrough and found out there's more to this story looks like. Will wait for the full version!

ALL I HAVE IS F*CKING WHEAT!

By the way, guys! If you would like to support Loretta, you can take a look at my previous game that I released recently!

DOM RUSALOK - it's on Sale ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I loved this! I dig the time period, and Hitchcock-style approach. I don’t know how many endings there are, but I managed to get 3. It’ll be interesting to see where you go with this idea, as it seems as though there’s a few different routes you could take. I only wish more independent developers had a desire to do something unique. Great work!

Hello! Thank you!

At the moment, there are three possible endings.

I have prepared this small demo piece for the InideCup, which, I hope, will help make an impression about the game.

Show post...

great jobs.

Hey, thanks!

Hi guys. I just started developing Loretta, so there is no Steam page or something like that yet. But I hope you enjoy this piece. It is short, but there are 3 endings available.
