GAVRIL
About GAVRIL
GAVRIL is a unique short horror visual novel that blends unsettling experiences with a dash of humor. In this game, you find yourself waking up to a loud crash coming from downstairs, with a broken object at the source. Normally, you’d chalk this up to a pet or a sibling causing mischief, but the catch is—you're completely alone. With no one to blame, you have no choice but to investigate the mysterious sound.
This visual novel takes you through a chilling encounter with a home intruder, but with a satirical twist. The character of Gavril—featured in this game—is a key figure from the creator’s larger story BUBO, which will eventually expand into more games. While GAVRIL presents itself as a horror experience, it has its comedic moments that lighten the otherwise tense atmosphere.
