Singularity
Melody was once a magnet for misfortune. Her luck seemed to turn around, however, after a fateful online encounter landed her a chance position working as the personal assistant to wealthy heiress and reclusive, paranoid technocrat, Alexandra Khuen.
After several difficult months at her new post, she finally wondered if she had found her true place in the world, and maybe if she was falling in love. As fate would dictate, however, her personal feelings would be set aside in order to make room for some unexpected guests: Esther, her best friend, Myra, a lascivious co-worker, and Evangeline, a mysterious woman from another world
No longer anxious about where she will live or when she can afford her next meal, Melody now spends her days anxious about whether or not she can actually prevent her new employer from ushering in the technological apocalypse.

Singularity is an adult visual novel following the lives, adventures, and misfortunes of an ensemble cast through many different times, places, and planes of reality. It consists of many parts, with each part presented in a unique style with varied presentation and gameplay.
Part I, The Stranger, which focuses on Melody, is presented as a straightforward, if very surreal, pre-rendered 3D mostly-kinetic visual novel with a strong emphasis on sound design.
Part II, focused on Esther, is heavily animated with sprites, in-engine visual effects, and pre-rendered backgrounds on a 3D stage. Part II has been split into two releases, with the first, Mystery Machine, out now, and the second, The Curse of Whistler's Ghost, slated for release later this summer.
Parts III and IV will focus on MC (The 'player' character), and Evangeline, and will be presented as an old-school dating sim and modern 16 bit JRPG, respectively.
