"Fine words and an insinuating appearance 

are seldom associated with true virtue."

You have been told that the pastor of your church had suddenly passed away last night.

As you helped with his wife's funeral not so long ago,
you were assigned to assist the pastor's funeral service today as well.

But as soon as you were about to start the service, you hear a strange voice in your head...


Eloquent Countenance is a short 2.5D RPG Maker horror/narrative-driven game with visual novel/adventure elements following the story of a nun who was selected by the church to assist in progressing the pastor's funeral service suddenly hearing a strange voice who claims to be a "guardian angel". 

She must choose between following through with the instructions given to her or acting on her own.

This was a game made for a Korean RPG Maker game jam/contest where you were challenged to make a full game using only one map/setting in-game, so the game might feel short/less dynamic. 

This is also the very first game I have properly finished and in only 18 days at that so the mechanics, puzzles, and storytelling might be a little wacky but I am looking to improve in the future!

All tips and feedback are greatly appreciated, 

Thank you for visiting and hope you enjoy the game!

Did a speedrun of all the games from racheldrawsthis and damn are they all good, if there's ever a longer game that comes out I'd be the first to download it!!

This Game is SOOOO GOODDDD. I got into games by Studio Investigrave when I first played Dead Plate, and now I have played and made videos on all of them because of how good these games are. The characters look amazing, the sound design and CGs are phenomenal and the endings of this game, oh my, they are... interesting? sad? Terrifying? All of them really.
Here's my full gameplay of Eloquent Countenance with All Endings if you're interested ^-^

I like your thumbnail it looks very nice

awe, thank you very much! Hopefully the video lives up to it :3

Hello,

My friends and I are doing a master's degree in Multimedia Translation in France. We are actually working on a game localization project and have to localize a video game in French. We are seeking for game developer and translate their game into French. If you are interested, let me know.

this made me so surprise

I love the art and the characters.

i spent about 15 minutes trying to get into position to start the speech... for anyone in my position, you need to interact with the spot!

(+2)

I can see how much work was put into this and honestly it completely blew my mind! I simply adore the artstyle, character desing, funny dialog lines and sounds. 5/5!! 

(+7)

I hope that damn angel kills all them bitches!

Unfortunately can't play it on MacOS, the game opens but crashes as soon as the CW intro ends. Tried multiple times with the same outcome. Hope I'll be able to play it sometimes!

i downloaded it thru app but whenever i press launch nothing happens:( im on mac btw

(+3)

Every studio investigrave game gets a 5/5 from mee!! I love the dialogue and the choices, it really makes the story more intriguing than it already is! I also love the characters' personalities and designs (even the creepy nuns and cult followers, they all really enhance the horror game experience haha), the mysteries and puzzles, the religious based storyline, etc. This was genuinely such a fun game to play and as always, I'm looking forward to the upcoming games you make!

Btw, I loved the song choice at the end of ending 2! I love the piece Canon in D hahaha (I think that's the song...), it's funny because it's mostly used for weddings instead of yk, (fake) funerals! The music gave me the chills when reading the dialogue, background sounds/music really have an effect in the experience lol

This game is so good. Luv it sm. Like, the art style is 10/10. I luv Studio Investigraves games sm. I want Racheldrawsthis art style its so good!!

omg i like religion based games sm

FORNREALLL AAAAA

The art design and the design of the church is fantastic. I love the protagonist's big braids. The design of the puzzles was a little clunky, but I still enjoyed them!

(Spoiler talk below)

It's interesting to me that when you "fail the test", forcas seems to be addressing the wife's consciousness, and vice versa, when you "pass" the test, forcas seems to be speaking to the angel. If I'm understanding the story correctly, the wife tragically only gets to take control on the story path that leads to her mind being erased. She had a good heart after all, too good to survive... This is really cool!

(+1)

i dont believe the soul of the wife is in play at all, other than the angel lying about being her to continue possessing angelicas body without suspicion

true, that's also very possible. It would mean that Forcas is wrong in the test failed ending, but if he's only basing it on the protagonist's behavior then he would have no way of knowing

i hope this is available on android, every games of Rachel tho :C

ik it'l take a long time to code it all so- yea not happening

You can use joiplay ı play on android

OH MY GOD WHAT

what is ameyui doing here

such a cool game, i love all of rachel's games they never disappoint me! there is lag but i just put up with it because i was so interested in this game! 

This game is amazing but i cant figure out the passcode for the cage and i really wan the other ending please help;-;

5521, its from the verse of that one book

Heyy, I've played most of your games and so far I love all of them! This one is next on my list but I'm struggling with the lag. I've tried extracting the 'windows lag test' .zip but it didn't work (not sure if I have to do anything else "-3-).

If anyone sees this and knows how to fix it I would appreciate the help :,)

im lagging really bad too! :( i just tried to power through the lag

really good game but so many copyrighted songs 

(-1)

read the title as "Eloquent Encountenance"  at first until i realized that isn't a word and Counterance would make more sense until i read it again while writing this comment and realized BOTH of them aren't words though i swear i've heard them somewhere and the actual title is Countenance, which i did have to google, it means Eloquent facial expression or Eloquent support, i think support makes more sense but idk, this whole comment was kinda dumb so, sorry.

Love this game. It's short and sweet and I can't wait for your next release Rachel!

The lags bother me so much ;( And the thing is, I don't know why I'm lagging. I've been running way more requiring games without any issues.

4/5 great and brief but with a punch that packs, ultimately the limitations… of the requirements of one interactive world piece… make me incapable of walking away not wanting more. I was invested but felt it needed another hour to be perfect. I want to see this style deepen… good job :)

I took the right thing bc I saw the art.

(+1)

Great game! I recommend everyone to try it out. I love the characters, especially forcas. Thank you for making this, hope you continue making more games!

(+1)

5521. 'verse of the day'

Forcas is a smash

real

Great game! Loved the characters and the story.

Hello Miss Rachel. I was looking through the folders for this game and found SEVERAL images of a supposed other game. What are they????

(sorry, English is not my mother tongue. I used Google Translate)

was anyone lowkey confused with this game? i kinda understand but i need someone to make it simple to understand 0_0;

The main character, Angelica, had been possessed by her own guardian angel who had fallen. After the Pastors wife died the Pastor (and/or the followers of this church/cult) wanted a way to bring her back. So they listened to the voice of  Angelica's (fallen) guardian angel and used Angelica as a sort of "vessel" for the wife. However ofc, the angel was lying when she said she'd bring the wife back and instead used Angelica's body for herself, so she could walk around Earth as she pleases (or something like that, since angels need a vessel, and fallen angels have their vessels taken.) Forcas had been the only angel willing to help Angelica, seeing that she hadn't been completely possessed (her and the fallen angel were fighting for control of the body). Also the entire funeral for the Pastor was staged, so they could see if the ritual actually worked on her. Just throwing that in incase you didnt pick up on it
SORRY THIS IS SO LENGTHY!! I tried to keep my explanation as simple yet detailed as possible.

omg thank you! this actually helps with making more sense, knowing this makes the game even more interesting :)

Random thoughtsss

why do forcas and the protagonist both look like winnie from cold front 😭
