Rimebell Express' Noonday Descent is best described as C. S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters lovingly translated into the language and iconography of the chronically online. Indeed, the author happily admits the connection, and encourages his readers to take this hearty theological work lightly, though with one important caveat - the reader is seriously admonished to resist the demonic attacks described within his work, so as not to become victims to them IRL.
If you read Noonday Descent, you will find a collection of entertaining yet thoughtful homilies (told in inverse by the very demons we seek to conquer) unafraid to offend for the sake of the theological point. I find myself most especially agreeing with its concept of longsuffering resistance against evil, both within and without. The only downside of this great work is its anonymity, seen only by the scant few searching for what it provides, and those they share it with. God willing, more online seekers will find Noonday Descent, with all its quirks and translational eccentricities from English into Net-speak.
This is one of the more unique and peculiar visual novels I've come across. It's really intriguing. (I think mostly in a good way, although at some level, I'm still trying to wrap my head around the whole thing.) It's unique, which is hard to find, so kudos on that! (And I will be playing more and maybe commenting further if I can parse together more impressive thoughts! But yes, I definitely see a resemblance to "the Screwtape Letters" which is a high compliment indeed!)

This looks pretty cool. Will try it out. I was gonna ask if this was inspired by CS Lewis, but I see someone else has already mentioned it. Awesome!
