NOVECT

NOVECT at a Glance

NOVECT, a Japanese studio formerly known as Novectacle, operates with a clear focus on visual novels and adventure games. Their catalog on PlayPile contains eleven titles, split between four they published and ten they developed themselves. The company was active for nine years, running from 2011 through 2020. Most of their work appeared in the 2010s with eight releases, while only one game arrived in the 2020s before their activity stopped. Their genre list shows a heavy reliance on visual novels, which make up nine of their eleven games. They also have six adventure titles and three indie projects. Their platform strategy targets PC as the primary destination with eight games listed for Microsoft Windows. They also reached Nintendo Switch users four times and provided PlayStation 4 versions for three titles. Smaller numbers appear for legacy systems like the PlayStation Vita and Nintendo 3DS, along with single releases for Mac, Android, iOS, and web browsers. Quality control appears strong based on the limited data available. Their average IGDB rating sits at 88.8 out of 100 across two rated titles. Every single game in this sample falls into the great category, defined as 80 or higher. There are no mixed or poor ratings to report. The standout title is The House in Fata Morgana: A Requiem for Innocence from 2015, which holds a score of 95.2. Another entry in that same series, The House in Fata Morgana from 2012, earned an 82.4 rating. Recent releases show the company focused on bundling their main hit into various editions. These include The House in Fata Morgana: Novectacle Collection in May 2020, followed by Dreams of the Revenants Edition and Reincarnation in the years prior. They also released Carrot Cake Jinkaku Shuffle Jiken in April 2015. Despite their high scores, the total number of games is small, and output dried up after 2020. Their portfolio consists mostly of one specific series rather than a wide variety of unrelated projects.
