Knife Sisters, a visual novel about love, power and dependence, has been released for Linux. The game is developed by Transcenders Media from Malmö, Sweden, and was originally released in April 2019, for Mac OSX and Windows on Steam and Itch.io.
Knife Sisters is a dark, explorative, and erotic interactive story that’s set in a contemporary world, populated with believable characters, progressive values, and proudly represents people of different genders and sexualities.
In Knife Sisters, you play 19-year old Leo who gets drawn into a world of strange assignments and occult rituals by the artist Dagger. During gameplay, players make decisions related to power, consent and submission, have playdates with characters, and explore their own emotions as well as their moral compasses.
– Knife Sisters expands the limits for which stories that can be told through games, and who gets to be represented in them, says the game’s designer Bobbi A Sand.
