Thanks for your feedback! Yess non-binary inclusive games! Iām still trying to figure out how to best do the messages. If I do put important messages in the stats screen, I think Iāll have it that when you get a message, itāll let you know in game.
Coding isnāt mine either, Iām still just learning as I go along haha
And thank you, Iām very excited for you guys to get thoroughly spooked
Itās pretty hard for me to like a WIP from the first page but thatās what happened here!
The narrative has a nice flow even if itās a little descriptive and the texts/emails felt very authentic. Iām only sad that the game ended before I could see the reaction to my MCās hug attack.
Also Iām very interested in this particular feature:
Hi! Please donāt click this if you want to find out as we go along, but I donāt want anyone to play anything that might upset them. Yes, there will likely be major character death.
Hello everyone! I donāt know how to update the description, but Iāve updated the game! It now goes up to ~almost~ the end of the prologue! Iāve yet to decide where I want to end it (it was meant to be upon arriving at Seleneās house), but I might change it.
Also, does this even count as a prologue anymore? It was supposed to originally set the scene, but itās much longer than I thought it would be
Anyway, please let me know if there are any errors or if thereās a problem with the flow. I hope you enjoy!
I took some time to play this, and this is wonderful. The prose is elegant, descriptive, and gives me a nostalgic feeling thatās appropriate for the tone and setting. Really great stuff. This line gave gave me chills: āThe portrait of dad and I inside had become waterlogged and our smiles had turned into terrible bleeding watercolour grimaces.ā
I would say thereās a front end of description/exposition at the beginning that gives this a more novel-esque feeling rather than game feeling at first blush. I enjoyed the prose, however, and so I appreciated this.
Aww thank you so much for your kind words! And yes, I like writing long descriptive paragraphs to set a scene, and it will be a very prose heavy game so itās probably not for everyone
But Iām glad you liked it!
wow, this story is already so good! iām not usually into gothic tales like this, but this WIP has definitely caught my interest. cannot wait to see whatās next! and wow, your cryptic messages are definitely scaring me⦠even more so since itās the dead of the night as iām writing this. keep going mate
I donāt really appreciate the end where it said youāre being watched I just got done watching horror movies and Iām a big baby so now Iām going to be looking over my shoulder the whole time
There is not enough romantic horror out there! Thatās both horrific and romantic. Most horror romances focus more on the romance than the horror aspect so Iām curious
Also if you donāt mind me asking, how will you go about character customization?
Its an enjoyable read. I liked the touch of being able to read messages. It gave a nice dose of realism and depth; though I cringed so hard at the turnitin. More horror there then anything so far . You can possibly tag it as mystery as well.
Hmmm, Iād say this is equal parts horror and romance! (At least Iām intending for it to be) and Iād say itās also medium to high fantasy, starting from mid next chapter
And of course! I kno there hasnāt been much customisation so far, but that will change next chapter, it you mean appearance and sexuality etc, if you mean something else, let me know!
Iām glad youāre enjoying, and donāt be sad yet! thatās a good idea - I donāt know how you do that, but Iāll give it a go. The next chapter will definitely have a skip to option though, rest assured!
