Thank you for playing our game!
This is a story based game, categorized as a Visual Novel. It focusing that much on the story, its emotional impact, and the dialogue is intentional. Its original, Engineering Marvels From Hell, had 14k words.
I've read hundreds of horror stories throughout my life, ranging from books, creepypastas, and even movie plots on Wikipedia. I even wrote 3 of my own. My background is more of a writer, someone who wants to deliver a story.
If you haven't played the original then you won't understand a lot of things. Who's William? Who's Harry? Who are the judges! What's The Puppeteer? What's that school mentioned in the game? This is all crucial information. And no matter how much I leave out there are still things that won't be understood, and this wouldn't be a spin-off... It'd just be another standalone game that just references the original.
