Sparks, a tale of ink
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Android
Overview
After the so-called Sovereign ascended the worldโs throne as a new God, strange powers awoke in everyone inhabiting the planet.
Zhangken, a student interested in this very history, has his doubts about the truthfulness of the existing records on this tale.
He stumbles upon a clue that steers him onto a road of discovery. Truths that were buried never to be uncovered, await him.
Mysteries, monsters and the very workings of the world are standing between him and his goals. Yet luckily, he does not have to overcome these ordeals by himself, as his friends have his back along the way
Sparks A Tale of Ink will branch into two routes in a later chapter for the reader to discover different truths to piece the entire tale together on their own.

So can I make choices (choices what the MC says and stuff) or is it just for reading? And is there a romance in it? And if yes, with whom?
I love the main character so much and the merchant is so beautiful hehe I hope to see both of them
It's not too bad in reality it's stylish it's clean from the start it shows us a rather hardworking character we'll say that but I won't say anything I can't wait to see the sequel well done
0_0 ???
No for real like wtf? lol that was my reaction when I read that.
Lol x
This VN is really nice, I really liked it, I can't wait to see what happens next ^^
every single thing is perfect, from art, characters and their visual designs, backgrounds, music, writing, world building, foreshadowing, the lore 10/10 across the board, can't wait for more~
my only question, is Gale non-binary?
non-binary aka in denial of course
The link above to your discord server mistakenly directs to ko-fi
Wow! Some hard work went into this and it really shows! The art is top notch, and the character and world building are all great!
Potential spoilers below.
I have only the smallest nitpick, the word inflammatory was substituted for the word flammable when describing gas from the lighter.
hmm~ mac os problem sorry
Got the same error
Very interesting world! I was confused a bit at the start but it started making more sense as I read further. The atmosphere of the Vn is done really well and the mysteries are so intriguing.
Is there any romance in this?
im going to take this question further. NSFW?
Really strong start! Fun set of characters, well thought out world, a solid plot, and a very interesting take on magick, my only concern would be with how it started.
Because of how different everything is in this universe xou've created, I kinda felt thrown in as opposed to eased into it. I think that either lengthening the story of the prologue or perhaps easing us into Zhangken's character will make it easier for readers to get into the flow.
I've really enjoyed what xou guys have released so far and am excited to see where the story might go~ ^^_
mac version wont open :(
Hello! I'm A Furry VN Enthusiast, always wanting to try New VNs out there and I seem to found one. Overall so far, this I got to say this is a Masterpiece! I look forward to see where its all going & will follow this until Sparks is done!
Very strong start! Great intro, Nice interesting mystery story world-building, music, magic, designs & presentations all top notch!. The art aspects i.e sprites, backgrounds & CGs were the deciding factor that made me want to pick up your VN. They are out of this world! The characters are fun especially Zhangken!
I want to let you know that I found out about your VN from this discord server as your VN got shared, mentioned as it has its own discussion channel & was overall sort of hyped around even before the released! They have an upcoming channel to show which potential New VNs that's worthy to keep an eye on.
If you're looking to promote/discuss/make more people aware of your VN or getting feedback, tips & networking or just want to hangout with other VN Creators in a FVN Community, I recommend coming to this discord server if you have discord
https://discord.gg/dFCMCmvEc2
They also have a lot of artist sharing & promoting their artworks so Nekku, Kemmuono & Kousen Zephyr are all welcome to have a look around! Huge fan of your guys art!
I thought I'd let you know. Its a great place of resources for VN Developers. There are many of them which can help you become a better developer as am sure they are willing to share their experiences & gives you some tips. You can also search for more specific people with talents like artist/musician/proofreader/editor/programmer etc.
Overall, there's a lot of helpful people and a nice atmosphere. I hope you will enjoy this server & wishing you luck for the future & how the next update will pan out!
My guy i think you posted this in the wrong comment :p
What a great introduction, I am very interested in what story you are telling. So many things to like; music, character art, unique magic, and the world building behind it all! The mystery of the protagonist's past and the finer details of what Zhangken observes really keep being in his head interesting.
It looks great, I really want to play
Tenho muita expectativa do jogo ๐๐๐๐
