Let’s Show Our Support for Nusantara: Bermuda Triangle!!

Hey hey guys I’m back with yet another Crowdfunding campaign! This time around, I’m spotlighting SweetChiel’s upcoming fantasy romance visual novel, Nusantara: Bermuda Triangle, the successor to their 2015 visual novel, Nusantara: Legend of the Winged Ones. While the game isn’t a sequel it does take place in the same universe as its predecessor, with a brand new heroine and adventure for players to enjoy!

Fans of the first game will be sure to love this new edition to the Nusantara universe, while new fans will definitely find something fun to add to their games collection.

Story

Nusantara: Bermuda Triangle, like it’s predecessor, promises to be an epic fantasy adventure, blending elements myth and legend to create a rather entertaining gaming experience. A whole new journey awaits with a new heroine to follow and four brand new love interests to pursue.

In 20XX, an enormous earthquake shook the world and caused a triangular crater to suddenly appear in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle.
The world was aghast with this discovery; even more so when scout teams could not approach it due to an ‘invisible wall’ surrounding it.

After a while, spiritual events increased. It started small with things like; sightings of fairies and children with animal characteristics popped up one after another.
Parents credited it to their children’s active imagination while playing pretend.
However, it quickly escalated into a Ghost Festival around Monas Tower, followed by sudden disappearances of sheep in England; leaving only horrid splashes of red blood and huge claw marks on their pastures.

Our heroine, Maya (19), was a young adult who was busy earning her living so this kind of event was of little importance aside from adding an exciting spice into her life. But then her world crumbled when a Goddess came and announced that her family would die in a car accident in the near future.

The Goddess offered Maya a deal: She would alter her family’s fate in exchange for closing the Bermuda Crater. In order to do so, Maya would have to go to a place called Forgotten Isles, find what caused it, and look for a solution.

If she agreed, three men will accompany her, acting as bodyguards. Apparently, they each have their own circumstances and a wish to be granted.

Characters

Maya (name changeable) is the protagonist of Nusantara: Bermuda Triangle. She realized early on that the world of academics just wasn’t for her, so she dropped out of school and started working full time to help support her family.
