A downloadable RPG for Windows


A young girl has disappeared from her home, and it's up to you to find her. You both find yourselves in a bizarre alternate world from the one you once knew. Your actions and choices, no matter how insignificant they may seem, can and will have rippling consequences. The fate of the girl, the world, and the universe, are in your hands.


Choose wisely.



Cause and Effect is a traditional turn-based RPG with a large amount of narrative choice. Players are given many choices throughout the story, many of which can completely transform a playthrough. The game world follows a branching-path structure which will bring players to drastically different areas with unique atmospheres. Venture through a world where the night never ends in search of a young girl who has disappeared from her home. Interact with a cast of unique characters all with their own unique backstories, and learn their relationships with one another through repeated playthroughs; the game must be played through multiple times in order to piece together the entire story and get every ending. The Lost Underworld will not be kind, however. The tyrannical overlord known as The Overseer has tasked his armies with destroying both you, and the missing girl. Throughout your journey, you will seek out the missing girl, whilst learning about the dark history surrounding the world in which you’ve found yourself, and what happened years prior.

Install instructions

Within the .zip file, you'll find an executable called "Setup.exe"

Make sure to extract the .zip archive into it's own folder, as the .exe is dependent on files that exist within the .zip archive. 

Run Setup.exe, choose a folder for the game to be deployed to, and the installer will do the rest. Make sure to choose a folder that is easily accessible, so that you can delete the demo if you no longer want it.
