SEEVN 2 – Visual Novel Maker & Player

NEW!  Now it's possible to convert your visual novel into a single file package that includes media files, or a published app to easily share with your friends. Simply use the option "Publish" at the top menu inside the novel editor.

SEEVN is a visual novel engine (VNE) that allows artists and writers to bring dynamic stories with multiple paths to life, using an easy to understand scene node editor. Let players make their own choices, enter information and arrive at different endings. VNs can be locked from editing to protect your work. Assets are loaded from local storage or the Web. Shared stories are played in the same app.
