DECORUS CARCER is a short story about an on-the-side writer trying to overcome a writer's block - and what has essentially turned into a "life block" of sorts.

The game was made using XNA and was only intended to be a prototype. Characters, art assets and music were borrowed from other games and artists; copyrights belong respectively to their owners.

A member of the visual novel community reviewed the game, which you can read here.

This was the second version I worked on and plays like a point and click adventure. The first version I made was a visual novel and can be played here. This version has a different story and script but uses the same two characters and spiritually exists in the same universe.

NOTE: Please forgive some spelling and grammatical errors in the game's script. Given the chance, I would re-write a lot of sections to clean things up, cut down on redundant dialogue, and ground some of what the two characters say as some of it gets incredibly cheesy. Thank you for your understanding!
