X.E.H.A. Rogue (AppID: 3793430)

X.E.H.A. Rogue is an interactive, branching visual novel where your choices determine how some scenes play out.

Events on the planet Telvoikai and X.E.H.A.'s handling of the situation soured your opinion of the universe-dominating company and led to you going rogue. You've spent the last decade hunting bounties and taking mercenary work in your own name instead. Often these jobs brought you at odds with X.E.H.A., and they seem to have lost their patience. They steal your crew and force you to crash-land on an alien planet where you must start fresh with nothing but a dilapidated base and a... talking cat?

"YOU" - Choose to play as Sivel or a custom character

As the captain of the highest level of a X.E.H.A. ship, Sivel's mother had hoped her daughter would one day take over. Instead, Sivel abandoned the ship and went off on her own with some of her android companions. (original appearance: Telvoikai)

MEET SOME NEW FACES:

GZ

Your last job was to procure a small container from a X.E.H.A. facility. While successful, they intervened shortly after and crashed your ship. They must not have cared about the stolen cargo, however, as they left it with you. Inside the container was a unique talking cat who introduces himself as "GZ."

CHTIA:

Chtia was a captive freed during one of your bounty jobs. Impressed by your tactics and your history, they begged to join your crew. Ever since then, they have been an inseparable presence on your ship, aiding however able.

KAITEL and ISHI:

Kaitel is a local farmer who lives near the edge of the neighboring village with his daughter, Ishi. He helps you clean up the base and grow food to survive.

TETHATHRO:

A mercenary who spends most of his time taking small caravan guard jobs between cities, Tethathro's true focus is visiting the local libraries for dragon-specific lore.

AND MANY FAMILIAR FROM REVISITED WORLDS:

Choose from multiple romance options, or keep it platonic.

While there are only two basic endings to the game and no bad endings, your choices will instead change what happens during the story. Multiple scenes will play out in different ways based on where your stats have fallen.

GAMEPLAY:

X.E.H.A. Rogue is a branching visual novel with one main difference from previous tales: there is no risk of a bad ending.
