The Divine Speaker is Two And A Half Studios' first visual novel. It was released on March 29, 2022, after a successful Kickstarter campaign three years ago.In the city of Aurelia Cavella, a child is first presented to the Divine Speaker, who grants Judgements determining their fates after communing with the gods. One such child, Raen, received a poor Judgement and was sent to an orphanage. Upon coming of age, he received strange markings and went to investigate them, only to be exiled from Aurelia Cavella. Along the way, he meets a young man living in the woods, an assassin from the same hometown as his, and a seductive nobleman. As his journey goes on, will he find the answers he was looking for, and who will his heart belong to?A prequel, The Sun and the Moon, was released on June 8, 2023. It stars the previous Divine Speaker as its protagonist.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
 The Divine Speaker (Visual Novel) / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Because Aurelia Cavella is a city-state isolated from the outside world, its currency is not only useless beyond the city, but its exchange rates with other currencies are also impossible to find out, as Raen learned the hard way in Stagwich and Oxhabor. At the end of Cyne's route, he says that he no longer has a source of income after leaving his estate to Ether, and because he hasn't cooked by himself before, he fares badly as a chef.

Non-Standard Game Over
 The Divine Speaker (Visual Novel) / int_8e0430ab
comment
Non-Standard Game Over: This can happen in Oxhabor three times. Each romance route also has one. If you try to escape Nox's manor, you're treated to a horror scene where the love interests are killed, followed by Raen being Killed Offscreen by a mysterious figure and buried by Illran and Veras. After investigating the items in Raen's room in the manor, choosing to hold the door or stepping out of the wardrobe instead of waiting for a little longer results in a mysterious figure tying Raen up and holding him captive. On the next day, If you choose to leave rather than investigate the serial murders, Raen gets hypnotized into entering Nox's manor alone, where a mysterious figure feeds on him. In Fawn's route, picking more choices Fawn disapproves of results in him losing control of his pyrokinesis during the battle against Lucius. In the ensuing fire, Lucius kills Raen, prompting Fawn to seek revenge as a freedom fighter known as the Blue Demon. In Leos' route, picking more choices Leos disapproves of results in him being mind controlled by Lucius to kill Raen after failing to kill Aemyl. Even though his mind fought back, he ran away. Months later, he found Raen's body in Stagwich, laid him on a bed, and reminisced their memories together. In Cyne's route, picking more choices Cyne disapproves of results in him handing Raen over to Lady Vemond after meeting Caspian and Aemyl. With Lady Vemond's help, Lucius kills Raen and takes over his body. Months later, he rules over Sid Caeham with Cyne by his side, but the latter runs away after realizing that his lover is actually not Raen.

comment
Elder Abuse: According to Illran, Azuros isn't a retirement home, but a factory where the elderly are slaughtered and their life forces fed to the gods to make them more powerful. Morwen added that even many gods have been consumed by Lucius. This is foreshadowed early in the story when Fawn mentions angry spirits coming from an increasing number of bodies being dumped in the forest, causing plants to grow slower and wither earlier, and animals to seek shelter.
