An interactive drama-like adventure game developed by Kan Gao in his game debut, serves as an episodic release.

* **INFORMATION**: *"General consensus from players state that the story is the most defining aspect of Quintessence, as well as its presentation. The directing and story-telling style is influenced by Elfen Lied, for those who are familiar with it. While I have never been keen on posting a summary of the plot or characters, I will say that the genre is fantasy, drama, arguably romance, and all that generic category stuff, which doesn't say much. Overall, this is indeed a story-focused project above all else. With the help of carefully choreographed and attempted pseudo-cinematic cut-scenes as well as over 400 face-pictures and a metaphorically constructed custom soundtrack composed by the designer himself with involvement in the actual plot itself, story and characters are valued above all."* - Kan Gao
