Developed by indie author senokos, The Missing Parts of Maria Gwozdek is a dark fantasy visual novel about fulfilling your aspirations by sacrificing parts of yourself, literally. A new remaster of the game has just been released on Steam.
The game’s story involves Maria, a young woman who is going through a rough patch. Just as she is about to lose hope, she meets a magical creature that offers her an unusual deal. The stranger will fulfill any of Maria’s wishes, but for each wish granted, they demand a horrifying payment: one of Maria’s organs.
The game was originally made for GameJolt’s #asylumjam2016. It came 13th out of 106 submissions and was ranked #8 in Innovation. The 2023 Steam remaster features an additional secret ending, new content, and 1080p graphics. The game has four “regular” endings, which explore Maria’s desires and their consequences, and an additional ending that changes everything.
The game is available as a free download on itch.io and Steam.
