Gameplay and graphics

Like all visual novels, the gameplay for Archangel: Nemesis is pretty simple. The dialogue is in the first-person point of view, and you get to decide what action to take. The text appears over the visuals, and although the character design and background seem like low-quality 3D assets, it surprisingly works well with the text. 

Unfortunately, there are some drawbacks to this visual novel. The style of Archangel makes it challenging to determine which character is currently speaking. The game has episodic releases, but it offers no information about when new releases are expected. Also, there's no option to change any settings in the game. In addition, this horror game doesn’t warn you of loud noises and flashing images.
