The perspective of my visual novel is from just a nameless stand-in for the reader that doesn't talk, and all the dialog will be characters speaking to you.
The character the plot revolves around won't be seen in the beginning, but he'll be built up in the story before you see him. He's this silly looking meat organ brain creature who might be named the Viscera Man but I don't know yet. He's kind of like a cryptid around a rural village, he became the Viscera Man like a month ago and has been hiding and is feared, but he's a nice little guy.
He's also gender of trans, and he's going through like a trans allegory. The game's going to be light-hearted but I need to make sure issues aren't undermined. Maybe it's just me but most visual novels and most queer stories have like normal human characters or at least close to that, which is fine of course, but I always preferred little creatures and weirdos, like a guy you'd see in a surreal Rpg Maker game but gay, so I'm making what I want to see.
