Yes, I am working on a VN. The goal is for it to be a short experimental game that tries to blend an engaging story with job coaching advice.

No, it is not a dating simulation. Folks on social media have already asked me if Edwin will be eligible for courtship... The vision is to create a slice-of-life/horror game that uses low-poly graphics to tell the story. Think of the classic LCD handhelds (e.g., Tiger Electronics) with minimal sound design and graphics. As a kid I would tilt the screen in the sunlight to see all the possible sprites in the game. This sneak-peek evoked a sense of mystery, making me consider, "What do I have to do to make this sprite show..." This VN will try to tap into the unique sense of mystery that I had as a child.

I am working closely with a writer and artist to build prototypes for the game. There is a line between "this is old and clunky" and "this is something I have never experienced before in gaming." I am hoping for the latter, so right now it is building prototypes to make sure the vibe feels right. I may share a mock-up so I can get general feedback.

That is it for now. Thanks for reading!
