RB Axolotl

Migration to new engine!

Hello!

The new update for RB: Axolotl is now live. This will migrate the game to a new version of the engine and fix a number of glitches including: cursor glitch, memory leak, animations sometimes taking too long to play, better backlog, ect.

This basically future proofs the game.

Unfortunately due to the fundamental change of this update, previous saves will not work. Apologies for that. The upside is that by pressing CTRL you can skip through the game and get to your desires spot quickly. (Skipping from start to finish should take no more than a couple of minutes.)

First RB: Axolotl update! And announcement!

Thank you for the incredible launch so far, you guys. This update should help fix some grammatical issues. It shouldn't mess up save data, but if it does, somehow, my deepest apologies!

Anyway, 3 days in! As of this writing, so far, we've sold exactly 50 copies! That's awesome! Thank you for your support so far!

At 100 copies there will be a special announcement by some of the axolotls on twitter! You're not gonna want to miss it, so keep an eye out.

I hope you all are enjoying your time in the tank to the fullest!

RB: Axolotl is being released on August 7th, 2020!!!

After a long wait, it's finally happening!

RB: Axolotl Reddit AMA with Acta

Enjoy this very special reddit AMA with the creator of RB: Axolotl, Acta, on June 19th 2020 at 10 am PST.

It will be posted and pinned on the /r/games subreddit.

Perhaps there will even be a surprise or two. ;)

RB: Axolotl Summary

RB: Axolotl might start off as a simple story, about cute axolotls and somersaults, but it quickly shows its truer, darker colors. Genre shifts, twists and turns, and a deep, engrossing story, full of surprises await those who take their first steps into the tank. Always changing and ever evolving, you’ll never know what to expect. Races to the death? An RPG world inside a VR headset? A war brimming in the shadows between mysterious, higher level beings? RB: Axolotl has all of this, and more. At its heart, though, this is a visual novel about discovery, acceptance, and coming to terms with your place in the world.

RB: Axolotl Developer Livestream - With Acta

On June 16th at 10 am uncover the mysteries of the tank in this special livestream with Acta, the creator of the ambitious visual novel RB: Axolotl.


Taking place in a tank suspended upon a cosmic wonderland, five axolotls appear one day from a mysterious, thundering void. They quickly learn they are able to speak with one another, and relationships are formed. However, something is off. Each axolotl seems to possess knowledge they should not know. Foods, and people, and places and concepts...

And obsessions.

Amid conspiracies, illness', fights to the death, VR headsets, and bizarre reality switching, a figure named [RB] seems to be pulling the strings behind it all.


Features
•Variety is the spice of life, and with RB: Axolotl you never know what to expect! There are more realities out there than just the tank...
•Press ‘S’ at various points in the story to perform the world's greatest somersault!
•A meticulously crafted universe full of lore, rewarding detail-oriented players.
•Dynamic movements bursting with personality! Each animation is handcrafted with care and love, and no scene looks the same.
•Plot twists, revelations, and hefty battle scenes are in store for those who take their first steps into the tank.
•A catchy OST by a variety of artists.

Surely, there are many things that can be said, but RB: Axolotl is unlike anything you’ve ever seen before.

This is an emotional tale that I built with all the passion and love in my heart.

Despite its cute art style, the visual novel RB: Axolotl is intended for mature audiences only.
