BABELOMANIA
A downloadable Horror Visual Novel for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
[And the Lord said, "Look, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do; nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them."]
GENESIS, 11:6
20XX, 14th of May. Central France.
You are cordially invited to attend the wedding of Francesco Colombo and Delphine Badeaux. The ceremony will take place on the grounds of the historical Château de Bois-le-Dumont, a bizarre estate with a dark hidden past.
Please be warned that when the lights go out, you shall find no succour. When the darkness overwhelms your neighbour, you shall find no salvation. When the cruel ambition reveals itself, you shall find no solace. Arm yourself with your wits, determination, and an open mind...
Or lose your humanity, before you lose your life.

Is anyone else unable to play the Early Access PC version? Every time I try to install it, I get an error message saying that the file Babelomania.exe is corrupt.
Very sorry to hear that! Have you tried redownloading the package already? What message does it give when you extract it?
Tried redownloading it 3 times, same thing every time. The messages I'm getting are:
! C:\Users\sam11\Downloads\Games_D\Itch.io\Meinos\Babelomania\BABELOMANIA - EARLY ACCESS [PC+LINUX].zip: Checksum error in C:\Users\sam11\Downloads\Games_D\Itch.io\Meinos\Babelomania\BABELOMANIA-1.1-pc\BABELOMANIA.exe. The file is corrupt
! C:\Users\sam11\Downloads\Games_D\Itch.io\Meinos\Babelomania\BABELOMANIA - EARLY ACCESS [PC+LINUX].zip: The archive is corrupt
I see. Seems like there's an issue with the downloaded ZIP file. I will check if it's replicable.
A question: have you extracted the files? Or are you trying to launch the EXE directly from the ZIP without extracting?
I always extracted it. When I do, I get the 1.1-pc folder along with the 'game', 'lib', and 'renpy' folders in it, but not the Application, Python File, or SH File that I see when I check the .zip in WinRar.
Thank you! I will check the issue ASAP.
We've checked and the original file works. There seems to have been an issue when uploading it to Itch! A new upload will be up asap!
Thanks for your patience! A new upload has been completed and the issue should now be solved!
Played the browser version and got a sudden crash after I received codex update when navigating the hall with the locked doors. Will try the Windows version later, but so far the mystery seems intriguing! I want to know more of the tall android lady <3
Thank you very much for the report! Could you share what the crash report said in the text?
Aahh I'm sorry but I didn't save the crash report! 😢 I can try triggering the crash again when I have the time to replay the game.
I'm also not sure if it's intentional, but I remember I got this weird visual effect, like pixelated censor on the character's face, whenever the sprite change expression. Not always, but pretty often. I'll see if I can capture it when I replay the game.
Thank you very much! Every little bug report helps to polish the experience for everyone ^^
Intriguing start! :D
Everything about this game is solid. 10/10
Thank you for the playthrough! Glad you enjoyed it ^^
You're Welcome. It's an awesome game. :)
can someone tell me code Meeting Room #4 please and this game are cool thanks for this game 👍👍👍
Hello! It's quite easy! Just structure it as the code for the first door, and you can find the exact date in the codex :) If you really can't, find it here.
thank you for help me i will never forget that thank you so much and can this game by longer 😃😃😃
That's the plan! This is just a Vertical Slice (a proof of concept, so to speak).
This was such a fantastic game!! The art and music were amazing and, GOD, the AMBIENCE!!! It was so freaking cool!!!
I was really hooked on the story and mystery and was very engaged by the writing especially!! I love how natural the characters sound and how the suspense and mystery is kept by not telling you everything, justing hinting at things during their conversations or monologues. I'm really looking forward to the full-release, this was a fantastic experience and I want to know what happens next!!
Amazing job!!
Thank you very much! The team all worked very hard on the game and it's good to hear it bore fruit! 🍑 Now a word from our writer...
MK: AAAAH THANK YOU! T.T This was the first time I wrote a horror anything so I was so worried about the pacing...
This was so good!! the puzzles made me feel so smart too teehee. My only critique is some grammer mistakes but it didn't ruin the experience at all. Only bug I came across was the image of the watch getting stuck on screen. I'll be looking forward to a potential full release! Good luck!
Glad you enjoyed the game and the puzzle solving! If you notice any typos or mistakes please do share so they can be fixed :)
I will be waiting for the full release of this game.just two things:the part when you need the code,using the end day of the taisho era,was really dificult for me(i'm from Argentina)and it took me a lot of minutes to realize that i have to search the day when the taisho era.also in that part is a bug when Gaspard give you the smarthwatch,the image of the item still there until you put the code and change the room.apart of this two things,I can only say good things of this game,the art is beautifull
Thank you for the bug report! I will be sure to fix the image that doesn't disappear.
And glad you managed to solve the puzzle! It is meant to be a little challenging, especially for countries like Argentina and Italy (I'm Italian) where you write dates differently. :)
Wow, this is a pretty sudden drop for the season. But this is pretty neat.
Hope you enjoy it! We made it for the Spooktober VN Jam. Be sure to give it a rating once voting opens :D
Thanks for the feedback on the Android version. Seems like the shader pack we got doesn't always feel like working. We will upload a new version later today!
Yipee.
SPOOKY YIPEE.
